The Board
The Board is made up of five (5) members with each member taking on certain responsibilities. The Board members serve three-year terms with no term limits. Officer positions are appointed by the Board on an annual basis and are generally filled by the Board members themselves. Officer positions currently include President, Vice-President, Financial Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Board may choose to increase or decrease the number of Board members, anywhere between three (minimum) and nine (maximum) members. Officer minimums include a President, Vice-President and Secretary/Treasurer.
The Board is responsible for retaining services to perform the following:
-
Maintain Common areas;
-
Lawn Maintenance, snow removal, and leaf removal;
-
Pool and Recreation area maintenance;
-
Financial responsibilities of the Association, including billing and collecting annual and special assessments, record keeping, and fiscal planning; and
-
Legal and insurance matters in relation to the Common Areas.
Any Association member concerns should be communicated to the Board in writing or via email at info@scenicridgehomeowners.com at least two weeks before the next scheduled Board meeting to help ensure its consideration for the Agenda.
Operational decisions, including the annual budget and annual assessments, are voted upon by the Board, governed by majority decision. In the event of a split decision, the Board will appoint an arbitration committee to resolve the dispute.
