julie - we’re restating the declarations in cohousing-speak, but consistent with colorado state law. the bylaws are also restated to conform with the new declarations. i think our documents are a good model for cohousing consensus communities. state hoa laws are written to hold boards of directors accountable since there must be quite a bit of malfeasance and corruption among boards that underfund reserves, skimp on insurance etc. our declarations name a board, but is referred to as the 'steering team' that derives its authority from the community members. the steering team ratifies the actions of the community as examples. very few issues having to do with the day to day business of the community originates from the steering team. thx alan o.

At Cantine's Island we restated our By-Laws, which are filed with the county as an exhibit to our Declaration. We learned that to file the new By-Laws we have to re-file the Declaration as well. We're trying to decide whether to just do a third amendment to the Declaration or completely restate the Declaration, and have some concern about creating an entirely new document.

I think what you'll find is that over time, they will evolve, tasks will go away or change into something else. New teams may form or evolve out of the previous ones. Community circumstances will change and adhoc groups will develop to deal with the changing social environment - people get old, neighbors get into interpersonal conflicts, etc. Get set up, but understand that it's okay to manage the changes that happen. At my place, we are in the process of tossing out the original patchwork declarations and bylaws and rewriting them to be cohousing-specific.
