Hi,

Our HOA Board is all voluntary. I joined about 1 1/2 years ago as Treasurer. The turnover on the Board is every 2 years and it seems nothing is turned over from one Board to the next. Sometimes it is just the opposite. The president prior to the current president, that I work with, did not turn over anything. No passwords, no files, nothing. We even had our attorney send him a letter asking for records... To no avail.

As I see it, there is no continuity with all volunteer boards.

The HOA has a camera system installed many years before I joined yet no one knew how to operate it.
The HOA has keys for entry to the pool/park areas, but no control over it. We have had outsiders fishing in our retention pond. Outsiders in our pool. Athletic teams from out of the state, somehow have found our park and use it for practice!

My development, Indian Wells, is a MSTU community.

My question: Are there all-voluntary HOA Boards that employ a property management firm to handle repetitious issues?

Thanks for any help!

The great majority of boards are volunteer, and many of them use management companies to handle day to day operations.
