Crystal Ridge Terraces

What Crystal Ridge Terraces's governing documents say

Crystal Ridge Terraces is a homeowners association (HOA) in Phoenix, Arizona governed by this bylaws document. This document covers the procedural rules for association governance—how meetings work, Board structure, and voting—but not the actual community restrictions and rules (which are in the separate Declaration and rules documents).

• Annual meetings & voting: Members meet at least once yearly and must be given at least 15 days' notice. A quorum requires 30% or more of voting members present in person or by proxy. Special meetings can be called by the president, Board, or members representing at least 1/4 of total votes.
• Proxies: Members may vote by proxy granted to another member, the secretary, the Declarant, a mortgagee, or (for non-residents) a lessee, attorney, or managing agent. Proxies are valid only for the specific meeting designated and expire after 25 months from execution.
• Board of Directors: The Board has 3 initial members, expandable to 9 (always an odd number). During the Declarant's ownership period (Class B), directors need not be members; after that period ends, all must be members. Directors serve staggered 1-, 2-, and 3-year terms. Members can remove any director by vote of more than 50% of voting members present.
• Board powers & enforcement: The Board maintains common areas, adopts annual budgets, hires staff, enforces project documents, levies and collects assessments, and procures insurance. The Board may suspend a member's voting rights and common-area access for delinquent assessments or up to 60 days at a time for rule violations.
• Officers: The Board elects a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer annually. Officers do not need to be Board members and receive no compensation, though they can be reimbursed for actual expenses.
• Architectural review: The Declarant appoints an Architectural Committee (minimum 2 members) whose decisions are final on architectural approvals. The Declarant's appointment authority ends 90 days after the Class B Membership period terminates. The Board may charge a reasonable processing fee for review requests.
• Member access to records: Members may inspect the Association's books, records, Declaration, bylaws, articles, and amendments during reasonable business hours at the principal office or managing agent's office, with copies available at reasonable cost.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document covers governance procedures only. Specific rules regarding pets, leasing, assessment amounts, facilities, common elements, and architectural standards are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (recorded February 11, 1997) and the Association's rules documents.
