New Brighton Place West Homeowners Association

What New Brighton Place West Homeowners Association's governing documents say

New Brighton Place West is a townhouse community (65 lots plus tracts) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. This document is the association's Bylaws, which supplement the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). It outlines how the association is run — membership, board of directors, officers, meetings, and enforcement of assessments — but does not contain the detailed use restrictions (e.g., pets, leasing, architectural rules) that would be in the CC&Rs.

• Membership eligibility & voting: Membership is limited to record owners of townhouse units (Lots 1–65 and Tracts A–E). Each unit gets one vote, cast by the owner or a designated representative. Proxies are allowed but expire after 11 months. Voting privileges are suspended if assessments are unpaid or other defaults continue for 15 days.
• Board of Directors: The board has 5 members, elected by the membership at the annual meeting (first Monday in November) or at special meetings. Cumulative voting is used. The board manages the association, can adopt rules, levy assessments, and impose fines (which become liens if unpaid after 10 days). Director compensation requires prior board approval.
• Meetings & quorum: Annual membership meetings are held on the first Monday in November. Special meetings can be called by the president, vice president, majority of the board, or upon request of a majority of members. At membership meetings, 25% of members (in person or proxy) constitutes a quorum; if absent, a later meeting requires 12.5%. Board meetings require a majority of directors for a quorum.
• Assessments & enforcement: Regular and special assessments are levied per the CC&Rs. Unpaid assessments are personal debts and also become liens on the unit. The association may sue or foreclose, and the defaulting owner must pay reasonable attorney fees, costs, and interest (rate per the CC&Rs).
• Amendments: These Bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed by the membership or the board, but the board cannot change provisions originally adopted by the membership. Any amendment must follow the procedures in the Articles of Incorporation and CC&Rs.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the Bylaws only — it does not contain the actual use restrictions (e.g., pet limits, leasing minimums, architectural standards, parking rules) or specific fee amounts. Those are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which the reader should consult for the community's full rulebook.
