Proxies

Just an observation regarding proxies mentioned at the Jan 2, 2024 HOA Task Force meeting. Proxy mining shouldn't be allowed; however, neither should a homeowner's ability to give a proxy to whomever they want. Limiting proxies limits homeowner's ability to give a proxy to the person of their choice if that person has reached the proxy limit. This can be problematic if the limit is quite low. Currently, directed proxies are allowed and I see nothing wrong with that and it is quite sad that the assumption that the proxy holder will be dishonest in voting was voiced at the task force meeting. Whether a homeowner provides direction on how the proxy holder votes or not is also a decision for the homeowner, not the legislature. For our HOA, our sign-in sheet for member meetings have whether someone is "signing in" via proxy and who holds that proxy and, now, I suspect, will include if it is a directed proxy. We keep all the proxy sheets and sign-in sheets in our records. Isn't taking such simple steps at the meeting better than creating new legislation?

More Task Force Observations

I watched the January 2, 2024, HOA Task Force meeting which proceeded exactly as I thought it would. A self-selected group of disgruntled homeowners monopolized the discussion. There was no way to know if any of what they stated was true and obviously, there was no rebuttal from any management company or HOA Board that might have refuted the complaints lodged. But I did come to the conclusion that this Task Force will fail in their objective of presenting common sense solutions to HOA issues, because it is obvious that is not what many homeowners (nor Task Force members) want…

Thank you

I want to thank those brave individuals (save one) who came forward, under the most difficult circumstances to speak about their frustrations and difficulties with their HOAs. Three minutes is not enough time to identify and elaborate on situations that don't occur in the moment and occur over time. I believe the three minute rule was established to prevent the homeowner to fully present the problem and identify reasonable solutions. It was made even more difficult with the interruption of the timekeeper. Most people are not as experienced at public speaking as the task force members. The unfortunate disclosure of…
