Thirty-two people attended a jam-packed Board Meeting held June 25, 2024, including eight Directors, Management representatives, and invited guests.

Board president Laura Civiello opened the meeting with an announcement that the California State Senate Judiciary Committee is reviewing AB 2159, a measure that would allow HOAs to use electronic voting systems to elect board members and approve governing documents. An electronic process would give the association a more efficient tool to gather votes than the current paper ballots, and hopefully make it easier to get quorum prior to the annual meetings.
