The chair is responsible for making sure agreed tasks are carried out, and making decisions between meetings if necessary. Before meetings the chair should plan and understand the agenda and ensure all necessary information is available.
Often agenda items are just decided by the Chair and the Secretary. However, if you can it is useful to find ways of giving your members the opportunity to contribute. Some ways of doing this are: Put up a suggestion sheet on a notice board.
An agenda is an outline of the issues that a group will discuss during its meeting. The officers of the organization prepare the agenda with assistance from the organization advisor. An agenda starts with a list of general business items.
An HOA meeting is a gathering of board members and/or community members to conduct business, evaluate projects, voice opinions and concerns, make decisions, and more. HOA meetings are typically mandated by law, but how they're structured and organized, and their frequency, can vary.
In most cases, the board secretary will set the agenda for a board meeting, although any board member can do it. The secretary often puts the board meeting agenda together in collaboration with the board president. The secretary typically asks board members if they have any items they want to be added to the agenda.
The Board members and the HOA management company should ensure the meeting runs smoothly, such as setting an agenda, preparing materials, sending out notices, making sure the meeting is legal, setting up the meeting space, having a quorum, and appointing a meeting chair.
Can the board make decisions in an HOA without consulting homeowners? In a word, yes. There are certain decisions the board can make unilaterally. On the flip side, there are also some decisions that must go through a membership vote.
Even though every HOA is different, most have similar legal powers under law. These laws allow them to enforce rules and regulations, collect fees and dues, and impose fines.
Report on specific dialogue or personal opinions of what was said at the meeting. While some HOA Boards may be tempted to record this information in an effort to be transparent, this is a big no-no. This will also help to keep the length of minutes down. Include homeowner forum topics and discussion in the minutes.
