GIVE ME MY MINUTES! Question:

It’s not clear that you can demand “more detailed” minutes if basic information is reported, but there are certainly things that can be done to assure better HOA transparency.

Our HOA tends to limit the details of the HOA rules vary by state, and the rules can meetings (whether regular or anything else) also vary depending on whether you have a when they send the minutes to us homeowners. condominium, cooperative or homeowners They are very secretive about most of the association. transactions that affect the Association. How In general, all meetings should be open to the can we homeowners require them to issue more full membership, but there may be exceptions for detailed minutes? such things as sessions with an attorney regarding litigation or meetings to discuss personnel, such as a performance review.

Homeowner associations are a very big deal It is required that the HOA notifies members when meetings are held. How much in advance notice because they’re virtually a layer of government. must be given varies, but the earlier the better.

Battles between HOAs and homeowners are Minutes typically include such information as legendary; HOAs can have significant power and authority, and because they involve local real estate, where and when the meeting was held, when notice was sent out, who presided, whether there was a HOAs can greatly impact the value of your home – quorum, approval of the old minutes, new business, for better or worse.

old business, reports, votes and adjournment. You can, if you like, take your own minutes.

However, we now live in the electronic era and it’s perfectly possible for HOAs to offer more than written minutes. For instance, entire meetings can be audio or video recorded and then placed on the Internet.

And maybe that’s solution – not only should HOA meetings be open and public, they should be broadcasted.

Perhaps requiring webcasts or podcasts in addition to minutes should be on the next HOA meeting agenda.

Are You Protected?

Make sure your homeowners’ insurance coverage gives you the protection you need from common disasters in your region.

“The house is gone.” I’ll never forget those words – my father’s initial reaction after Hurricane Wilma tore across the Sunshine State in 2005. Our South Florida home was technically still standing, but we lost eight house windows, two glass doors, eight car windows and an arbor that collapsed onto our roof after being ripped from the patio. Plus, the interior of our newly windowless home was water-damaged by eight hours of exposure to the Atlantic Basin’s most intense storm on record.

We had insurance, so we would be covered. Right? It turned out, we did have basic wind coverage, but my family’s insurance policy did not pay for the bulk of our damages.

Real estate is a huge investment, so homeowners insurance is a must.

To prevent paying heavy repair fees out-of-pocket, get familiar with your homeowners insurance policy.

Typically, homeowners insurance covers basic disasters such as wind storms, hail storms and fires. However, since insurance policies vary based on location, consult with a local agent to determine what options are best for your region.

“Where you live, and the type of home you live in, all can shape what your real needs are,” says Scott Mallasee, property and casualty staff product director of a national insurance company.

For example, the Midwest has become especially susceptible to hail storms, so many local insurance companies are placing separate deductibles on wind and hail coverage, says Robert Jackson, president and producer of an insurance agency in Westlake, Ohio.

Homes in southern states such as Florida and Louisiana have undergone extensive roof damage from hurricanes in the past years, says Rocco English, an insurance agent based in Orlando, Fla. And fire is the most common disaster claim in California, according to an insurance website. Typically, basic policies will cover these disasters in those specific regions.

October 4, 2013

Based on their needs, homeowners can also purchase additional coverage for disasters such as floods and earthquakes. Insurance for these disasters is typically not covered in a basic policy but can be added for an additional fee.

Flood insurance is sold through the National Flood Insurance Program, but it is often administered through private companies, Mallasee says.

However, don’t wait until a major storm is days away to buy flood insurance, as there is a 30-day mandatory wait period. Agencies don’t want people buying the additional insurance only if a storm is coming, Jackson says.

The amount homeowners pay for flood insurance is determined by the “flood zone” they live in. Zones are defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency based on an area’s level of flood risk: “moderate to low risk areas,” “high risk areas” and “undefined areas.”

The higher the risk, the more expensive the insurance policy will be.

“Up by Hobe Sound [Fla.] and different places that are right on the ocean and very low to the ground, that is astronomical to get flood insurance,” Jackson says.

Similarly, damage from water backup or earthquakes is not covered in basic policies. Water backup can happen from sewers, drains or an overflowing sump pump, according to Allstate’s website. Insurers usually offer coverage for both as separate add-ons, and deductibles and other provisions vary based on location, Mallasee says.

Finally, consider contents coverage if you store valuables in the basement or other areas prone to disasters, Jackson says. Basic policies include a small amount of coverage, but homeowners can also endorse the policy to cover more expensive valuables.

Be sure to read your insurance policy carefully, paying special attention to any exemption clauses.
