The
Association and 12-member Board of Directors were created in the late
1920s by the recorded Declaration of the Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions of Monterey Heights. A copy of the CC&Rs should have been made available
to you through your title company when you purchased your home. Board
members serve a term of three years on a rotating basis. We are solely
funded by our annual dues of $27. Invoices are mailed annually.
DECLARATION / BYLAWS UPDATE The Board of Directors has been comprehensively reviewing
the Monterey Heights Homes Association Declaration and Bylaws. Both of these documents are outdated and
it has been the goal of the Board of Directors to amend both of these documents
and to bring them up to date. The Declaration states the Conditions, Covenants
and Restrictions for the homes located in Monterey Heights. This document has
not been updated since 1948. The Bylaws describe the process that the Monterey
Heights Homes Association uses to conduct business. This document has not been
amended since 1997. As this is no small undertaking, the Board of Directors is
pleased to announce that it has successfully completed and passed, with a
unanimous vote of all the Board of Directors present, the revisions to the
Bylaws. The amended Bylaws bring them up to date in regards to annual dues,
methods of notification and better clarification as to the roles of the various
Positions of the Board of Directors. The revised Bylaws are available to all
Members. If you would like to have a copy of the revised Bylaws, visit the "contact" page for information.
Some of the tasks performed by
the Board of Directors are:
1. Acts as a forum for neighbors
to discuss proposed construction projects prior to permit filing.
2.
Assists and supports neighbors when extensive projects are proposed
which might violate the CC&Rs and zoning ordinances.
3.
Communicates with home owners through this website, as well as in an
annual newsletter about activities such as traffic calming, the waste
water master plan, health and safety preparedness and local city
contacts for emergencies.
4. Sends a Board delegate
to the West of Twin Peaks Central Council, an umbrella organization of similar single family neighborhoods.
