Question:
Board members conduct their monthly meetings at different restaurants and spend on meals anywhere from $150 – $230 dollars and our management company approves this expenses.
It appears that this is legal yet many community issues are neglected and ignored. Question is if this actions are unethical and what measures can be done to stop this lavish outings on a volunteer positions?
Answer:
Hi,
Kindly review the governing documents to verify whether board meetings may be held outside the HOA’s premises and verify the budget for board meetings. If the governing documents allow it, then the board may be able to continue conducting meetings this way. However, if the homeowners have a concern with this, they may raise this issue with the HOA board. They may also consider amending the governing documents to create rules surrounding board meetings. For further guidance, kindly consult a lawyer.
