HOA Homefront

A note from the SBAOR President

If It Isn’t There, It Didn’t Happen - Good HOA Minutes -

By Brian Johnson President of the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS®

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL

When a corporation acts, its minutes document and prove that it acted. If the minutes do not record that the board of directors by majority vote approved a decision, it did not happen. The corporate record is critical to document corporate decisions, and the minutes are a critically important part of the governing process.

The ultimate board member’s nightmare is to be accused of acting without corporate authority, and then discovering that the minutes do not record the authority they thought they had. In that situation, the director should seek a ratification vote as soon as possible.

Minutes are not a meeting transcript.

What “somebody said” is not recorded in the minutes – even if they demand “make sure my comment is in the minutes!” Minutes are intended to document that the board met on a given date, that certain directors attended, that certain motions were made, and certain reports were received. Many secretaries and managers work far too hard on “trying to get everything down,” and are therefore unable to meaningfully participate in the meeting as they try to get everyone’s remarks summarized. Some boards believe that they should also summarize open forum comments, but this is not required. Board meetings are not membership meetings, and the audience does not make motions or vote. It is sufficient to simply note that open forum was conducted. The good news for minute takers is that you can stop trying to compete with court reporters! Normally, meeting minutes should be about two to three pages.

Many committees take minutes of their meetings. However, committees normally do not make decisions, except for the HOA architectural committee.

The normal output of a committee are recommendations to the board for action on topics within the committee’s

charter. So, the record of the committee’s actions should be embodied in the committee report, which should be written. The minutes should also reflect that the board received the report. It is not necessary that the board “approve” the report, unless there is an action item recommended that is also posted in advance on the agenda.

I am often asked what to do about executive session minutes. Executive session handles some limited but very sensitive subjects behind closed doors, and many boards and managers prefer to keep closed session minutes. Most closed session discussions (contract formation, hearings, payment plan proposals, etc.) involve a document coming out of the closed session (contract, notice of hearing outcome, payment plan confirmation), and Civil Code Section 4935(e) requires that executive session decisions be “generally noted” in the next open meeting minutes. Given these two factors, I question whether closed session minutes are necessary. Boards and managers should consult with their preferred legal counsel about this, to see if these sensitive minutes are to be created.

If minutes are not overly burdened with comments and discussion summaries, it should be easy to have draft minutes ready shortly after the meeting adjourns. Often when an association repeatedly violates Civil Code Section 4950 by not having draft minutes of the meeting available within thirty days of the meeting, it is because the minutes contain far too much unnecessary detail.

Questions also frequently arise about video or audiotaping of HOA meetings to increase the accuracy of minutes.

However, this is unnecessary if the minutes stick to the basics.

Interested in Investing in Real Estate? Start With an ADU. Have you wondered about buying real estate as an investment? Have you looked at the steadily increasing prices of properties recently and thought it was beyond you? There could be a simple solution right in front of you or more appropriately right under your feet. If you own a home there is a chance you could add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property and rent it out for investment income. An ADU is another residence on the same property as the primary house. It can be an existing part of the house, connected to it or a separate structure. ADUs were often referred to as “granny units” and “mother in law” units in the past.

The state of California has been making it easier for homeowners to add and ADU to their property in an effort to battle against the housing crisis we currently face. Previously, the laws at local levels did more to prohibit ADUs. Now, the state is making it harder for municipalities to deny them if they meet legal design standards. That has resulted in an explosion of ADU permits across the state. Permits are being issued quicker and easier and homeowners are able to bring a new housing unit to completion in less time. That saves money and makes them more affordable to build.

There are still size and design guidelines that homeowners have to comply with but it makes it possible for more people to build them.

With the median price of a home well over a million dollars in Santa Barbara it makes sense for homeowners to add an ADU when possible. This makes for a more affordable entry into the world of real estate investment as there is a lot more people that can afford a $100,000 ADU than a $1 million investment property. It is also a lot easier to be a manager of one unit when just starting out. Additionally, by adding an ADU you are increasing the value of the property overall. When you sell your property, you will easily recoup that original investment.

Save our Water - Small Steps Can Make Big Changes

By Chi Machuca

California is facing severe drought. We can do little changes to make it through this drought time.

- Turn off water when brushing teeth or shaving.

- Take shorter showers.

- Wash only full machine loads of dishes and laundry.

- Water early in the morning or after it gets dark to avoid the sun-drying heat.

- Place mulch around plants.

Free mulch pick up at 4430 Calle Real in Santa Barbara.

- Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering the sidewalk, or street.

- Eliminate leaks. Check your garden hoses.

- Choose drought-tolerant plants. (Succulent, Sage, Lavender, and more) References web sites: www.montecitowater.com www.loveyourlandscape.org E10

By Cathy Hobbs

Photos Courtesy Design Recipes/TNS

TAKE A ROOM TO NEW HEIGHTS Continued from page 12

An arc lamp placed in this living space helps define the area and give a sense of spaciousness.

Do:

1. Add mirrors. Mirrors hung vertically or in a series can add instant height to a space.

2. Add an architectural feature such as an oversized window.

3. Place artwork vertically. Horizontal artwork can help make a room feel bigger, while art placed vertically can help make a space feel taller.

4. Use light or neutral colors in a space. Light colors can make a space feel larger.

5. Add ceiling recessed lighting when possible, as lighter spaces automatically feel bigger.

Don’t:

1. Paint ceilings — it will reduce a room’s height.

2. Use dark or overly dark colors in a space, as it will make a room feel smaller.

3. Use large or bold patterns; they will close in a space.

4. Overstuff a space with furniture. A crowded space will feel smaller.

Affordable Buys that Make Every First Home Look Expensive

If there is one thing every living room needs, it’s a cozy sofa that looks designer but doesn’t make your credit card go into hiding.

Photo courtesy Dreamstime

By Sacha Strebe Whether you’re moving into your first apartment or a new rental, there’s always a myriad of things to consider. But perhaps the first and foremost is your budget. While your stylish eye wants all the designer pieces, your frugal purse is looking at those luxury look-alikes with an affordable price tag. But you don’t have to declare war with your bank account — it is possible to achieve a happy compromise. Low-cost decor that looks expensive really exists.

Once you tick them off your first-apartment checklist, the fun can really begin. Inject some personality with curated vignettes, vintage knickknacks, and objets d’art. Ready to get started? Ahead, we share our top nine must-have pieces that look expensive without the high-ticket price tag. Yep, we did it.

A MULTIPURPOSE TABLE When you move into any new space, the first thing you’ll need is a place to dine. Make sure the table you choose has ample room to accommodate unexpected guests, and if you don’t have the space for a large table, simply choose a design that’s extendable. Find furniture that works hard for the money and looks good doing it.

E20

STYLISH STORAGE Despite your best efforts to keep clutter to a minimum, life happens, and inevitably our homes fill up with stuff from the kitchen counters to the bathroom drawers. We are big believers in prevention rather than a cure, and that applies to more than just our health.

Stop your mess in its tracks with storage that looks like stylish decor and makes chaos look chic.

A CHIC RUG No home, whether it’s your first or not, is complete without a rug (or three). It’s the single most transformative thing you can do to any space, aside from paint. While there are several styles you can choose from (and this process is very personal), we recommend a jute or a flat-weave style. It’s incredibly hardy so it withstands any spills or wear and tear, but we love it for layering with — it’s the one home hack that transitions your home to winter. Throw a vintage or colorful small rug over the top for instant texture and visual flavor. It’s a super-simple change, but it makes the biggest difference. Promise.

SLEEK LIGHTING When you move into a new rental, the space doesn’t always come with stylish light-

ing. In fact, it’s typically mismatched, cheap (not in a good way), and dated. It’s one of the first things Athena Calderone switches out.

“The best thing about a lighting investment is you can take it with you when you leave,” she told MyDomaine. If you can’t swap the pendant lights, purchase some polished table lamps to spruce up a dimly lit corner or side table. If you consider the placement of each lamp, you don’t even have to turn on the ugly ones that come with the apartment. Or opt for a stylish floor lamp to light up a dimly lit corner.

LUXE BEDDING When you consider how much time you spend in it, it’s pretty easy to see why luxury bedding is a prerequisite for any new home.

If you love the new messy bed trend too, make sure you add linen sheets to your cart.

This beautiful fabric feels just as good as it looks and adds an instant air of luxury to any boudoir. While they’re typically very costly, you can source some cost-effective sets from H&M. ELEVATED DISHWARE Whether you plan on hosting guests for refined dinner parties or prefer to dine alone, you should always keep your buffet or kitch-

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS REAL ESTATE

en cupboard well-stocked with upscale dining sets from dinner plates to bowls, salad, and side dishes. After all, a good hostess is always prepared for unexpected guests.

CLEAN TOWELS Before you move in, it’s time to toss all your tired, ratty towels and replace them with fresh ones that match your new space. There’s nothing more satisfying than stepping out of your shower or bath and wrapping your body in a fluffy bath towel or unique Turkish varieties. It’s the simple things in life that count, right? While you can certainly spend a fortune on towels, there are plenty of luxe low-cost versions that look the part but won’t break the bank.

A COMFORTABLE COUCH If there is one thing every living room needs, it’s a cozy sofa that looks designer but doesn’t make your credit card go into hiding.

You also want it to be durable and withstand house parties and movie nights. Because spills happen.

What’s Been Nibbling the Rosebuds and Leaves?

Helps Homeowners and Commercial Property Owners With Solar and Backup Power Systems

What has been nibbling the rosebuds and leaves?

Loss of roses and leaves on the shrub has reader wondering if the varmint responsible is a rabbit.

Photo courtesy Dreamstime/TNS

By Joan Morris Dear Joan: I want to know if you can tell me what kind of animal would be eating the rosebush leaves and its flowers.

The bush is in a pot in the backyard. I thought the thorns would keep anything from eating the roses. I had no problem in the past, but this summer something has eaten it.

Could a rabbit have fur thick enough to not be hurt by the thorns?

Answer: Wild rabbits have a very tough hide beneath that oh-so-soft coat, which allows them to get in and out of prickly places without harm. Some of them even live in thickets that would rip us to pieces trying to get through.

California is home to eight types of rabbits, but only three of them — the jackrabbit, the desert cottontail, and the brush rabbit — are responsible for the most damage. The jackrabbit is the largest of the three, growing to about the size of a large house cat.

If it is a rabbit, damage to your rose bush would most likely be limited on the lower parts, depending on how high the rabbit can reach. You also might see chewing on the stems and branches, and rabbit pellets, or droppings, around the plant or in the yard.

Another suspect is the squirrel, which is lighter and more nimble than the rabbit, so therefore could reach the higher branches. Thorns are not a deterrent.

If you’re seeing damage overnight, then a rabbit is the stronger suspect. If it occurs throughout the day, then the squirrel is your guy.

Hot pepper sauce on and around the bush should discourage either rose nibbler.

E22

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS REAL ESTATE

Dear Joan: Can you settle a friendly debate I’m having with my neighbor? Are squirrels vermin? I think only rats are called vermin, but I don’t know what squirrels are called.

Answer.: It depends on whom you ask. When most people speak of vermin, they typically mean rodents. However, by definition, vermin are “pests or nuisance animals that spread diseases or destroy crops or livestock.”

Because almost any creature can fit that definition, including humans, the term is applied to different animals in different situations.

For someone who battles squirrels over the tomato crop, squirrels would most definitely be considered vermin. For someone who enjoys watching the squirrels scamper along fences and making flying leaps from tree to tree, squirrels are wildlife.

Squirrels are part of the rodent family, but as what to call them, I might suggest “trouble.”
