Has anyone ever used an "oversight" committee. This would be a committee approved by the BOD of course and made up of HOA members(probably not BOD members). Duties....not sure but could be a committee formed to not necessarily keep tabs on happenings but more (not really sure) to keep the Board informed of situations and/or suggestions for remedying certain situations.

Hi Alex,
I think that you would need to give us much clearer objectives for this committee. Some of this almost sounds like "enforcement" among other duties.
Basically what you posted sounds like what the BOD duties are. A Board could always use input for remedying situations as long as it is input and not actions so give us some ideas of what they would be doing. Thanks, Donna

A;ex,
Our documents allow for the Board to appoint additional officers (not board members, to serve as Officers of the association, again not on the Board. The purpose being is to perform specific duties for the Board as directed. The actual assignment can be as formal as the Board directs and should be made in writing as to the organizational structure and how whatever is reported and to whom.

So I would believe the Board would have authority to appoint owners to do what ever they want them to do. Legally under the documents, they in effect have no power other than through the Board. The Board certainly has the power to appopint and designate tasks for various committees, so this is no different to me.
