Association Reserves Has a story for you
By Robert M. Nordlund, PE, RS Association Reserves, Inc. December 2011
It all started out so innocently, with a phone call asking if we knew about reserves at condominium Associations. It was the attorney of a Developer. They were being sued by the Association for an outrageous sum, for failure to set aside appropriate Reserves. They wanted our expert help to see if the damage claim had any substance.
The Association was about five years old and had been functioning on the Developer's initial budget for all those years. Finally, the Association had reached a point where some significant Reserve projects were "due", like deck sealing and their first repainting project.

To make matters worse, there were expensive asphalt and roofing projects now just a few short years away. No wonder the Association panicked and called their attorney!

New in 2012: No More Email
Restrictions on board action outside of a meeting, bans on email, and new disclosure requirements are only a few consequences of new laws in 2012. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the changes. Watch your ECHO Journal and attend ECHO Seminars for expert direction on dealing with these new laws, prepare for developing legislation, and much more. Most boards should pay particular attention to the passage of SB 563, a bill that effectively bans email and actions outside of a meeting:
From the ECHO Journal - It is very common for board members to communicate with each other and with management via e-mail, and this is often the preferred method of communication on HOA issues. For some time there were no explicit statutory prohibitions or restrictions on the use of e-mails by board members to discuss or even take action on HOA business, but there will be on January 1, 2012 when Senate Bill 563 goes into effect. One of SB 563's major impacts will be to ban board "action" via e-mail...
