Standing Committees, Ad Hoc Committees & Board Subcommittees

Advisory committees are appointed by the Board of Directors on an annual, or as-needed, basis to support the smooth running of the Association.

Overview

Committees are appointed by or at the direction of the Board, and serve at the pleasure of the Board.


Responsibilities

Committees are comprised of volunteer property owners to assist the Board with the association’s day-to-day operations.

Most committees are purely advisory in nature; they provide recommendations to the board on what action the Board should take on a particular item of business:

Standing Committees — Committees that exist in perpetuity and have ongoing tasks. The Board may have delegated certain aspects of the management of the activities of the association to these committees.

Board Subcommittees — Subcommittees that are composed entirely of directors, sometimes referred to as “Executive Committees.”

Ad Hoc Committees — Committees that have limited duration and that are formed to address a specific issue (i.e., a rules committee that makes recommendations to the board on how the association’s operating rules should be modified to address a specific issue).

Committees

Without a doubt, the association’s various committees are a tremendous benefit to the community. The Board is able to rely on property owners to perform essential duties instead of having to spend for professional management services.

Qualifications

Because committees serve at the pleasure of the board, the board is generally free to establish qualifications that committee members must satisfy in order to be able to serve on a committee.

Organization

Each committee is setup with a defined purpose outlined in its charter.

The committee chair presides over committee meetings and handles the committee agenda.

A committee secretary is in charge of taking and publishing the minutes of every meeting.

Procedural Requirements

Unlike board meetings, committee meetings are generally not subject to the requirements found in the Open Meeting Act which apply to board meetings.

Meeting Minutes

The extent to which a committee is required to keep and maintain minutes of its meetings, and to make them available for inspection by the association’s members, will depend upon whether the committee is an executive committee and/or a committee with “decision-making authority.”

Standing Committees

The Board has established four Standing Committees that exist in perpetuity and have ongoing tasks.
