  A $450 value.
• 6 Key Resolutions
  The 6 resolutions every HOA should have, with the procedures required by law for certain issues, updated as the laws change yearly, so your HOA can always be in compliance:
  1.  Open Meetings, Action (voting) without Meeting, HOA Registry

  • Open Meetings. The law has certain requirements regarding open board meetings.  This resolution sets out those requirements for the board, including regarding executive sessions, owner comment period, and notice to owners.
  • Action without Board Meeting. The law has specific requirements for a board to be able to vote and take action without holding a meeting, such as by email. This resolution contains those requirements.  See Utah Code § 16-6a-813.
  • HOA Registry. This resolution contains the requirements of the law regarding an association updating its information with the Utah HOA Registry.  See Utah Code §§ 57-8-13.1 and 57-8a-105.
  2.  Reserve Analysis and Reserve Fund

  • Reserve Analysis. The law has certain requirements regarding a reserve analysis (reserve study).  This resolution sets out those requirements for the board, including when to update a study, and when to provide a summary to owners.
  • Reserve Fund. The law has requirements regarding reserve funds and the annual budget, and it places limitations on using money in a reserve fund.  This resolution helps an association comply with those provisions.
  3.  Rule-making Procedure, Fining Procedure, Fine Schedule, Hearing Procedures

  • Rule-making Procedure. The law requires community associations to abide by a specific process when adopting, changing or enforcing board-adopted rules.
  • Violation Reporting Procedures (complaints). While these are not required by law, they are included so the association has a clear policy on how violations are reported and acted upon.
  • Hearing Procedures. Procedures are included for hearings requested by owners who have been fined.
  • Fining Procedure and Fine Schedule. The law requires a specific process to be followed in order to levy a fine. That process is set out in this resolution. The law also requires that fines may only be assessed in the amounts provided for in the association's governing documents. So, a fine amount must be specifically stated somewhere (such as in this resolution) before a fine in that amount can be levied.
  4.  Collection Policy and Remedies: Terminating Utilities, Rent Payments

  • Collection Policy. Associations should have a clear policy notifying owners about the consequences of failing to pay assessments (dues), including the amount of the late fee, interest, and other penalties such as recording of a notice of lien.
  • Terminating Utilities. The law authorizes an association to suspend utilities that are paid as a common expense when an owner is delinquent. This is a valuable and effective remedy. The law specifies a procedure that must be followed, which is contained in this resolution.  See §§ 57-8-52 and 57-8a-309.
  • Future Rent Payments. The law authorizes an association to require a tenant to pay their rent to the association when the landlord owner is delinquent. This is a valuable and effective remedy. The law specifies a procedure that must be followed and is contained in this resolution.  See §§ 57-8-53 and 57-8a-310.
  5.  Electronic Notice, Electronic Means

  • Utilizing electronic methods, such as email, to provide notice and conduct business, such as voting, is much more efficient and cost effective than printing and mailing. The law allows for this if authorized by a resolution or other governing document (such as this resolution). See §§ 57-8-42(3)(a) and 57-8a-214(3)(a).
  6.  Records Retention and Requests from Owners, with a sample records request form

  • The law has specific requirements for how and what records are kept by associations and for allowing owners to view those records. The law includes monetary penalties when an HOA fails to comply, so it's important to have a policy in place that complies with the law to help the board respond to a request for records by an owner. This resolution contains the requirements of the law and also has a form for owners to use when requesting records, so the request is clear and complies with the association policy and the law.
