HOA Board of Managers Fails to Comply With Governing Documents

The Board of Managers of our HOA recently decided to cancel the Annual Members Meeting. Both the date and location of the Meeting as required by the Association Bylaws. Then they went further and denied Members the use of Proxies; established a new date for the Meeting several months from the required one; announced they would no longer allow Members to recomend changes to the Bylaws from the floor and hold the Meeting-not in person as required in the Bylaws, but by Zoom attendance. Substantiating and verifying who was qualified to vote and procedures to ensure proper voter validation was not provided.

Essentially, Members are faced with only one option that most can not afford.

That option is to hire an attorney to force compliance with the governing documents or change them by adhering to the process outlined in the governing documents.

The best solution is to give DORA the power to investigate HOA complaints and enforce compliance of Governing Documents.
