10 Things a Homeowners Association Won’t Tell You

Brookstone HOA Board meeting tonight

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

A schedule of Brookstone HOA Board meetings was quietly added the Brookstone website today. The Board will meet tonight at the Carpenter Village Club House at 7 PM. According to the message, all Board meetings are now open to all homeowners.

The Brookstone Bylaws, Article VI, Section 1, require that:

“Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at least quarterly without notice, at such place and hour as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board.”

So technically the Board isn’t obligated to notify homeowners ahead of time when the meeting will take place. Making the meetings open to Homeowners, signifies a change in policy by the Board.

So does anybody know where the Carpenter Village Club House is?
