• New year’s budget

• Amendments to your associations CC&R’s and Bylaws

• New rules and regulations for the community

 

Prior to annual meetings occurring, notices, and proxies will be sent to Owners. Within a certain number of days, a proper notice of the annual meeting, as well as, proxy ballots must be mailed to the Owners of the community. Due to the sensitive and important information discussed at annuals, the budget ratification and the election of new board members may be held at the same time. Depending on the health of your association, certain projects may require assessing higher dues to maintain the community. Owners who do not want their dues increased should attend and participate in the decisions or to reject the proposed budget, if there is not enough Owners in attendance, the budget is automatically approved per the Washington State law and the governing documents.

Interested participants make the “executive” decisions for the whole community. Candidates for new board members, can be nominated by other homeowners, self-nominated or appointed by the board. Your association's Bylaws will clearly explain the procedure for electing the board members, their roles and the code of conduct for their operations. 

If Owners are unable to attend, be sure to fill out the provided proxy, hand deliver to another member who wants to vote the same as you and provide the information on your behalf. Proxies should be filled out and either given to the management company or to the homeowner that is acting on your behalf.  

We hope to see you at your associations annual to provide your input! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Total Property Management Services, Inc.
