Simple HOA Questions for Mecklenburg County, NC. Perhaps you can assist with some brief answers to help me out. Thanks
Sorry to bother you, have some HOA questions that should be very easy for you. Am also going to ask our other HOA for the neighborhood over 170 homes.
Be appreciative of any answers even if they are a few words.
_____
We live in a cul-de-sac of 9 homes that had to split off from the main HOA for various reasons-mainly private road. We did adopt the same Covenants and such.
However, perhaps you can tell me inline if the president is running the HOA in a manner that is abiding by so called normal HOA practices.
1. There is no board. Just one person. Him--Let's call him Bill.
He has check writing authority and no one else. There was another person but that person sold their home and moved, leaving him.
He asked me to be co-signator and I agreed. He said one weekend we would go to the bank and add my name. That never occurred and was 7 years ago.
I think this is not abiding by normal HOA governance...?
2. I believe you must have 3 people on a board even for 9 homes and one person cannot be in control of the money regardless if they are acting honestly.
???
4. He has not held an annual meeting in at least 15 years. And has not divulged on an annual basis the money brought in , special projects and expenditures.
This goes again HOA practices, correct?
5. He recently sent an email to the 8 other homes stating the dues for HOA are owed 4/1. Well prior to this he put letters in peoples newspaper slots. Therefore, this is a departure form the normal manner of notice to pay dues so I do not think this is allowed unless it was common practice or agreed to.
Correct?
6. I asked him via email but I know it should be via postal mail or certified mail to provide that last 3 years of expenditures and bank balance in the next 30 days. He has failed to do so. However I did ask this via email.
I know I must pay dues regardless of him not providing this...
Comments:
I assume we can vote him out if we desire based on a quorum in a called meeting. I have informed him of his deficits, deficiencies, skirting rules and violation of common practices.
I assume we must call board meetings via postal mail or some other agreed method.
Thank you so much for your time
Sincerely
