Summer Place Phase II Homeowners Association

What Summer Place Phase II Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Summer Place Phase II is a single-family home homeowners association (HOA) in Mesa, AZ. You own your lot and are a member of the association, which manages common areas and enforces rules. This document is the association's bylaws, which govern how the HOA is run (meetings, board, officers, assessments) but does not contain the full property rules—those are in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

• Meetings & voting: Annual meetings are held on the same day each year at 7:30 PM. Special meetings can be called by the president, board, or by owners holding 1/4 of Class A votes. A quorum is 1/10 of the votes of each membership class. Proxies are allowed and revocable. Written notice must be mailed at least 15 days before a meeting.
• Board of Directors: The board initially consists of 5 directors (up to 9). Directors serve one-year terms (initial term) and can be removed with or without cause by a majority vote of members. Vacancies are filled by remaining board members for the unexpired term. Directors serve without pay but may be reimbursed for expenses. Action can be taken without a meeting if all directors approve in writing.
• Officers: Officers include president, vice-president (both must be board members), secretary, and treasurer, elected annually by the board. The president presides, signs documents, and cosigns checks. The vice-president acts in the president's absence. The secretary keeps minutes and records. The treasurer handles funds, writes checks, and prepares an annual budget and audit.
• Assessments & liens: Annual assessments are set by the board at least 30 days before each period. Written notice is sent to owners at least 30 days in advance. Assessments not paid within 30 days after the due date become delinquent and bear 6% annual interest from the delinquency date. The association may foreclose its lien or sue the owner personally, and can recover interest, costs, and attorney's fees. No owner can avoid assessments by nonuse or abandonment.
• Architectural control committee: The bylaws mention an Architectural Control Committee as provided in the Declaration, but no specific rules are included here. The committee is appointed by the association.
• Books & records: The association's books, records, and papers are available for inspection by any member during reasonable business hours. The Declaration, Articles of Incorporation, and Bylaws can be inspected at the principal office and copies purchased at reasonable cost.
• Amendments: Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of a quorum of members present in person or by proxy. However, while there is a Class B membership, the FHA or VA have the right to veto amendments. If there is a conflict, the Declaration controls over the Bylaws, and the Articles control over the Bylaws.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the bylaws (corporate governance). It does not include the full rules of the community—such as property use restrictions, architectural standards, pet limits, leasing rules, or maintenance obligations—which are in the Declaration of CC&Rs and other recorded documents. Owners and residents should obtain the full Declaration for complete rules.
