Hoa and board of directors

Okay reading the bylaws it says that board of directors starts as 3 then after 1 year goes to 5 .( I have seen 3 names and 1 resigned so that leaves 2 never saw any more added )

Some one is telling me that since they have a Home Owner Association you do not need any board of directors .Googling this issue it seems you still need a board of directors .

Who is right me or the other person

The BOD may be in an advisory role ahead of the division being built out and sold, but after that a home owner volunteer BOD runs the corporation thereafter.

Well, Lori your HOA (Homeowner Assoc.) has a name and probably is a non profit corporation. This means the HOA has a board of directors. Your "corporation's" bylaws say how many.

As I wrote elsewhere, if you look at the front section of your CC&Rs (covenants; declaration) you'll probably see definitions of words like bylaws, etc.

Do not forget it is an elected home owner volunteer BOD that runs the corporation. As to when elected can be an issue but there was an election.

Here is the section of which it speaks about Board of Directors

Article VII
The affairs of this association shall be managed by an initial board of three (3) directors who need not members of the association .
The number of directors may be changed by an amendment of the bylaws and association .At the first annual meeting the number of directors shall be increased to five (5) .The names and addresses of the persons who to are act in the capacity of directors until the selection of their successors are

I have left out the people mentioned in the next section .I will say there are 3 names listed ,and per records at the Department secretary of state 1 of the 3 placed a resignation paper there the other 2 did not .
No one that I have spoken to know these people .

I have also asked about a paper on file with the department of the secretary of state which says ________- President no one knows this person .

I posted a bit of the section in regards to the bod so I would think 5 but there are no papers filed at the department of the secretary of state .There are the 3 from 98 and in 99 1 of the 3 placed a resignation paper and that is the end of the paper trail there .

Again I feel we are to have a bod but when you have only a really bad property manager and 3 people who are on the hoa who I think 2 only wanted to get on there so they could get things changed like park a boat in a driveway during so many months of the year ,the other one who is more concerned because not every mail box is black and one who is trying but really is in over her head ,I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall

LOL ... After 7 years in my past HOA dealing with a Lawsuit and a developer still trying to engage in sneaky underhanded garbage ... you would think by now my head would be nothing but a bloody pulp beating against that brick wall. However, sometimes he who is right and perseverance wins in the long run. Many times I wanted to throw in the towel, but when I stopped and considered the consequences for not only my family, but also my neighbors and community at large ... I was not quite ready to call it quits.

Appears you are on right path with seeking your info. Hope it works out for you.
