Committees

Currently there is the Board of Directors. However, we are trying to stand up an Architectural committee and a Planning Committee.
The Board of Directors is composed of a President, a 1st Vice President, a 2nd Vice President, a Treasurer, and a Secretary.
The President of the Board is elected on even years. The primary responsibilities include ensuring that the Board operates in compliance with the by-laws and covenants and in the best interest of the residents. The president leads the Board and is responsible for overseeing and handling many of its procedural duties. In order to succeed in this role, the Board president must be knowledgeable about the community’s governing documents and understand how to run an effective meeting. He or she serves as the authority on all association rules and governing documents, and appoints committees. The president also leads community meetings, handling such responsibilities as calling the meeting to order, announcing the agenda and ensuring adherence, maintaining attendee order and decorum, proposing questions, calling for votes and announcing the results, and recognizing others to speak on the floor.
The 1st Vice President of the Board is elected on odd years. The primary responsibilities include serving as the primary interface between the Board and external organizations, such as contracts, banks, and the county. The Board vice president shares many of the leadership and procedural duties with the president, including assuming the leadership role when the president is unable to do so. The vice president’s responsibilities include ensuring order is maintained during meetings and parliamentary procedures, ensuring a smooth flow of business and serving as an informed source about association rules, bylaws and governing documents.
The second Vice President of the Board is elected on even years. The primary responsibilities include serving as the primary interface between the Board and the community, such as bridging between committees and the Board. The Board vice president shares many of the leadership and procedural duties with the president, including assuming the leadership role when the president is unable to do so. The vice president’s responsibilities include ensuring order is maintained during meetings and parliamentary procedures, ensuring a smooth flow of business and serving as an informed source about association rules, bylaws and governing documents.
The Treasurer is elected on odd years. The Board treasurer is responsible for the association’s funds, securities and financial records. He or she oversees billing, collections and disbursement of funds, and coordinates the development of the association’s proposed annual operating budget and reserve allocations. In addition, the treasurer is responsible for monitoring the budget and reporting on the association’s financial status throughout the year, as well as for overseeing year-end reporting and any required audits. The Treasurer also frequently interfaces with Real Estate agents.
The Secretary is elected on odd years. The HOA secretary maintains the association’s meeting minutes and official records, reviewing and updating documents as required and ensuring they are stored safely and accessible to association members. He or she is responsible for providing proper notice of meetings, as well as distributing documents, such as official records, agendas and meeting minutes, on a timely basis to association members and/or their authorized representatives. In addition, as the custodian of the association’s official records and documents, the secretary ensures the association meets all legal documentation requirements, such as annual filing deadlines.
