HOA directors in Rancho Mirage recently voted to delay the annual members’ meeting by six months and extend their terms by another six months without holding an election, raising questions about the legality of their actions. The original bylaws did not grant the directors the power to make such decisions without a membership vote. HOAs often face challenges with annual meeting dates, which can lead to confusion and scheduling issues.
In Long Beach, a resident is frustrated with the slow recall process for a director causing trouble on the board. The slow process is due to the requirements of Civil Code Sections and can take up to 150 days to complete. It is important to call for an election to fill vacancies if a recall is successful to avoid further delays.
Meanwhile, an unincorporated HOA in Lawndale wonders if they are required to file under the Corporate Transparency Act. As of now, there is a nationwide injunction against enforcement of the act, but the HOA may still need to comply with filing requirements for unincorporated associations under Civil Code Section 5405.
