phil - we want to make the 'fine print' accessible, particularly as it relates to dues allocation formulae. based on some war stories i've heard from friends who live in 'regular' a hoa, they are wrought will problems caused by non-responsive / irresponsible board members who are often times absentee landlords, or have accumulated so many condo units, a small handful control the boards. the state hoa laws are designed for the many malfeasance problems that happen in a regular hoa. if regular hoa boards operated like a coho hoa, they would be a lot better off. thx alan o. ps - i've sought crowd sourced ideas about consequences for policy infractions short of fines, liens and getting kicked out of the common house - we're still struggling with that stuff. ******************************************* Alan O'Hashi - ECOS EnviroCultural Organization Systems http://www.alanohashi.com/ecos Colorado 303-910-5782 Wyoming 307-274-1910 Nebraska 402-327-1652 ******************************************* From: Philip Dowds <rphilipdowds [at] me.com> To: Alan O’Hashi <adoecos [at] yahoo.com> Cc: Cohousing-L <cohousing-l [at] cohousing.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 6:07 AM Subject: Re: [C-L]_ Question about using addendums Alan — I’m not anyone’s legal expert, and am unqualified to advise you about bylaws. But I think you’re on the right track. At Cornerstone, we’re working on the same problem, and have tentatively concluded that the bylaws (hard to change) should be as simple and general as possible. As much as possible, we want to govern ourselves via the “policies” (which other, more conventional HOAs would call “rules and regulations”). The policies are relatively easy to change, as community experience and values evolve. Just keep in mind … It’s the "fine print" that really counts; the fine print is where everything truly important is encoded.
