consideration of the budget: many of our residents cant afford indefinite continual increases. great, lets increase

[@susanmckee6254]

All the more reason to planning a reserve study to identify, prepare and schedule increases needed to care for common areas. And publish to the HOA.

Here is a helpful outlook on Boards, I see my job as President of the Board and CEO of the Association to help grow and improve the quality of life in our community. I do not dictate to the community what I want them to do. However, the Covenant Declaration must be be followed by everyone (owners, visitors, and renters). Abiding by the Covenants, helps to increase the value of our houses and improve the ambiance of the community. Next, we can partner with surrounding companies and local governments for amenities (community events) which will further improve the community.

This is really great information. Just know legally HOA's have all the power and can sue you at anytime for anything and notice "communication" is not part of most bylaws. Read your bylaws, there are no rights for owners.

+Angela Ritter WHAT IF THE BOARD OR BOARD MEMBER IS STEALING MONEY OR NOT REPORTING FINANCES..? IN MY CONDO ASSOCIATION THERE IS OBVIOUS NEPOTISM AND SWEETHEART DEALS ON THE PROPERTY.

sue THEM! But get proof.

[@gregorybeard5294]

neetrab Thanks, but the proof is as obvious as the nose on my face.

[@neetrab]

+GREGORY BEARD lol i get it.. im just saying.

[@StarFleet_Tech1701]

Angela R, that is not true. Communication is a part of my community's by-laws and the owners have rights. I do not know how your documents are written, but reread them to make sure your rights are spelled out.

In the 60s, community leaders held meetings, created activities for youth, and beautified the complex with donations. We did not need corporations at all. Those were the best days. People need to get involved if you choose to own homes.

IF your building owner owns 70% of the apartments and owns the board then everyone else MOVE OUT

[@ronmendoza4916]

If you have no life, lots of time to do nothing, want to spy on your neighbors, feel empowered to tell others how they should live, been rejected from dating, then you have the qualifications to be on an HOA board of dictators. 🤣🤣🤣

Ron Mendoza you are being negative. I see my job as President of the Board to help grow and improve the quality of life in our community. I do not dictate to the community what I want them to do. I solicit input from the community. However, the Covenant Declaration needs to be followed by everyone (owners, visitors, and renters). Abiding by the Covenants, helps to increase the value of our houses and improve the ambiance of the community. Next, we can partner with surrounding companies for alternative sources of income and amenities further improving the community.

@@StarFleet_Tech1701 I don't think Ron was picking on you specifically, however, I found Ron's comment to be funny, as it was most likely meant to be.

[@susanmckee6254]

You must have elected some pretty bad board.

[@kevin.t.aubart]

I meet all the qualifications.
