Governance and financial allegations
The complaint alleges a pattern of actions that preserved or restored declarant influence, limited meaningful participation by property owners, and allowed Association funds to be used for purposes the plaintiffs contend primarily benefited developer-related commercial interests rather than Association purposes.
It further alleges that defendants failed to provide timely and complete access to requested financial records, legal expenditures, and governance documentation.
Additional claims described in the filing
- Use of Association funds for legal work related to trademark or branding disputes
- Lack of transparency concerning approximately $160,000 in legal expenditures
- Failure to comply with statutory requirements for records access and open board meetings under Utah law
Declarant control
The complaint asserts a dispute over whether declarant control of the Association had legally terminated. Plaintiffs allege that declarant control should have ended no later than October 30, 2022, based on statutory provisions governing termination of declarant authority.
The filing references actions taken in May 2025, including assignments of declarant rights and amendments to governing documents, which plaintiffs allege were intended to extend or restore declarant control.
Relief requested
The complaint includes claims for declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, breach of governing documents, violation of statutory records-access rights, violation of open-meeting requirements, alleged breach of declarant duties under Utah law, and equitable accounting of Association expenditures.
Plaintiffs request court declarations concerning governance, use of funds, and termination of declarant control; injunctive relief; production of financial records; accounting of expenditures; and damages, attorney fees, and costs as permitted by law.
