The goal of this process was to update very outdated documents, include association-owned mailboxes into our governing documents, and enable the board to better address landscaping and unsightly conditions in our subdivision. The revised documents and information about the process can be found on the Governing Documents / Proposed Amendments page. The goals for amending our association governing documents include:
​
•Update documents to comply with new federal and state laws and court cases.
•Update documents to include association-provided mailboxes in our governing documents.
•Modernize our documents to address the current ‘hot topics’ faced by modern associations.
•Remove errors, typos, and all unnecessary developer language.
•Improve readability with shorter paragraphs, less ‘legalese,’ more section titles and subheadings.
•Consolidate or shorten documents, sections, and text as possible.
•Remove all illegal (or potentially illegal) provisions.
•Customize documents to the particular needs of our community.
•Improve overall functionality and effectiveness of our documents.
•Educate the membership of the purpose, content, and function of the association’s governing documents as part of the amendment process.
The cost for the complete legal review and proper filing was extensive. The Board of Directors anticipated and included this expenditure in the budget so that the membership did not incur any additional expense.
