Frequently Asked Questions
What sorts of things require approval of the
Design Review Committee?
Nearly all external improvements require DRC approval: home plans, exterior painting/finishes, deck/patio construction, landscaping, swimming pools etc. This approval assures not only the beauty of your home, but also consistency within the community.
What form of after-hours service does your company provide?
We have 24/7 someone responsible to deal with emergency calls. Homeowners can call 310-499-1305. If no answer they can leave a message and our person on duty will be paged with 5 minutes intervals.
Does your company provide board meeting packages prior to the meeting?
Yes, and our packets include current agenda as well as previous meeting minutes. We also provide any and all work orders since the last meeting, phone log, deliquency report, bids and financial statements.
Are the cash receipts and disbursements statements submitted to the board on a monthly or quarterly basis?
California Civil Code Section 1365.5(a) requires that these reports be reviewed on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. We strive to provide them on monthly basis or as requested by the board.
Do you work for the developer or the Association?
We have a management program for newly-developed communities, working with the developer to get the proper foundation laid for the association, including document review, creating the initial budget and setting up services desired for the community. We believe that we bring added value to new communities based on our expertise in setting up new associations and can assist the community in its development period as well as the transition from developer control to homeowner control. It is, however, important to recognize that the management company does not work for the developer - we work for the association.
When do the homeowners take over control of the association?
The initial board of directors is typically three members, appointed by the Declarant (the Developer). Once the ownership of 25% of the units is transferred to an owner other than the builder or the developer, a member must be elected to the Board of Directors by the membership. Once ownership of 50% of the units are transferred, at least one-third of the Board must be an Owner (other than the Developer), and once ownership of 75% of the units has transferred, the majority of the Board of Directors must be Owners elected by the membership. Representatives of the Developer may still be elected to serve on the board (and continuing the relationship with the developer through the balance of the development period is strongly encouraged), but the majority "control" of the board must be turned over. Prior to the end of the Period of Declarant Control, many associations will engage the input of a "Resident Advisor" to the Board, providing input and perspective from a homeowner to assist the Board in its decision making and planning.
