Recent HOA stuff at the state Legislature

Periodically, I check in with the state Homeowners Association Committee to stay current with what's being discussed in this area down in Olympia.

Here's a link to a nice summary of what this committee is, and what they've been up to in the past year.

Most of what's being talked about it consistent wiith what we're doing here in Conifer Park 6, but there was one thing that jumped out at me that I'm concerned about. One of the proposals is to create a statue of limitations, of one year, for challenging recorded covenent amendments.

How does this apply to us? We've discussed the 2002 CC&R change regarding vehicle parking extensively at the past few meetings. If this 'statute of limitations' proposal goes into effect, that change, even though it was not properly done, will become permanent. This bumps up the urgency of resolving this issue in my opinion.

Also, just for reference, here's all the other documents this committee has put out, many of which have been linked in earlier posts.

Draft Bylaws Revision

Here is a draft copy of the bylaws, incorporating the changes from the annual meeting. The originals had been typewritten, so I had to retype them completely in order to make the changes.

Everyone is encouraged to review these and compare them to our previous bylaws (also posted on this blog). Please report any errors or discrepencies back to me, so I can correct then before the official copy.

There also were several errors which we did not catch until I sat down and retyped them. Subsequently, there are still many typos that we did not correct at the meeting. I have highlighted these in red, while the revisions that we voted on are marked in blue.

Here is the first draft of the revised bylaws.

Articles of Incorporation

The Articles of Incorporation, which were signed on March 124, 1986,, have been scanned and placed in the internet archive at http://www.archive.org/ and may be accessed there by keyword search of 'Conifer Park 6' if the links below do not work. (sorry I couldn't figure out how to get all the pages into one file)

Update: 1/16/2008
It appears that this copy was not the same copy as the one on file with the county. Due to the poor quality of the originals, someone retyped them a while back. Unfortunatly, the retyped version contained many errors that were not in the originals. The original, "on-record" copy will be scanned soon, as will the updated, corrected, typo-free (I hope) version incorporating the changes from the summer meeting.
