Can we have a hoa meeting without management company

Could HOA have a hoa meeting without managment company present? What if the management companny cannot attend a meeting, can we still schedule a hoa special meeting? Is it okay to have a meeting without them as long as we, the board write down what we discuss? Of course, we will give homeowners a meeting notice 4 days before the meeting.

At the special meeting, we plan to appoint a new board member and disuss some construction issue.

I spoke with a management company today since we are shopping for new one. That person mentioned that we could not hold a meeting without MC, which is different from what I thought. And he said, it dependes on the contract with MC. So I want to clarify it.

Based on the contract, they shall attend up to 6 meeting per year.they are not obligated to attend meetings on weekend or holidays or for more than 2 hours at a single meeting.

Thank you so much.

Lisa,

The management company works for the Board not the other way around.

Providing the Board has someone taking notes, signing members in (if a general membership meeting), verifies a quorum, etc. Then the Board may hold membership meetings or board meetings without the MC.

The MC does not vote. Therefore, other than being available to answer questions or perform tasks (like the ones in the previous paragraph) for the Board, they do not need to attend any meeting.

If your association is controlled by the owners (not tce declarant) then the Management Company is hired by and can be fired by the BOD,

The Management Company works for the BOD and like any good employee they help, aid, input, etc. but when push comes to shove, they work for the BOD and do as the BOD tells them to do. Like any good employee if they feel they cannot do as told, then they resign.

In many cases the Management Company is portrayed as the heavy when they are doing as the BOD wants/told them to do. This is making them the whipping boy, not the BOD.

Hate the no edit.

I say the BOD can hold all the meetings they want and no need to invite the management company unless they want to.

unless your contract with your MC says that no board meetings may be held without their attendance then yes you can go without them...
