Mountain Shadows Estates West

What Mountain Shadows Estates West's governing documents say

Mountain Shadows Estates West is a homeowners association (HOA) in Paradise Valley, AZ, governing single-family residences (or units) recorded on a specific plat. This document contains the association's Restated Bylaws (as amended through May 2002), which outline the governance structure, member meetings, board of directors, and officers. The bylaws apply to all record title holders of residential units within the community who become members of the association.

• Membership & voting: Each residential unit holds one vote; no person gets more than one vote per unit. The annual meeting is held in February with at least 14 days' written notice. Special meetings can be called by the President, a majority of the board, or by 25% of members entitled to vote, with at least 10 days' notice. A quorum is 50% of eligible votes (one vote per lot) present in person or by proxy.
• Board of Directors: The board consists of 10 directors: 9 members elected by the association and 1 appointed by Mountain Shadow Resort, Inc. Directors serve staggered 3-year terms; the three candidates with the most votes at the annual meeting fill expiring terms. A departing director must wait 13 months before renomination. Board meetings require at least 3 days' notice; a quorum is 6 directors physically present or by proxy. Directors can be removed with or without cause by a 75% member vote, or by the board for missing 4 consecutive regular meetings without approval.
• Officer positions: Officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) are elected annually by the board within 30 days after the annual member meeting. The President presides, signs contracts, and ensures compliance; Vice President acts in President's absence; Secretary handles meeting minutes, notices, and records; Treasurer manages funds, signs checks, and provides financial reports.
• Amendments to the Bylaws: Bylaws can be amended by a majority vote of members at any duly called meeting, or by a majority of the board at a regular or special meeting, provided at least 10 days' notice of the proposed change is given to each member.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are the bylaws, which govern the association's internal operations. They do not include the full CC&Rs, which contain restrictions on property use (e.g., architectural rules, pet policies, leasing limits, parking rules) or details about assessments, insurance, or common area maintenance. Those are likely in the community's declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) not provided here.
