Skyline House - Board of Directors
The Skyline House Unit Owners Association, Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the Association members (i.e., the unit owners) at the Annual Meeting of the Association. All directors must be Association members. The normal term of office is three years. Each Board, immediately after the election, elects the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary of the Association from the elected board members.
Between Annual Meetings, if vacancies occur on the Board, the remaining directors are authorized to appoint a temporary replacement to serve until the next election. Such temporary replacements are full voting members of the Board.
Under the authority of the Virginia Condominium Act and the Association’s by-laws, the Board of Directors has the authority and responsibility and all the necessary powers for administering the Affairs of the Association and the Condominium. Specifically, the by-laws state that the powers and duties of the Board of Directors shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(a) Care, upkeep, and surveillance of the Condominium and its General and Limited Common Elements and services in a manner consistent with law, and the provisions of the Association’s By-laws and the Declaration.
(b) Establishment and the collection of assessments and/or enforcement of liens therefore in a manner consistent with law and the provisions of the By-Laws and the Declaration.
(c) Designation, hiring and/or dismissal of the personnel necessary for the good working order of the Condominium and for the proper care of the General and Limited Common Elements and to provide services for the Condominium in a manner consistent with the law and the provisions of the By-Laws and the Declaration.
(d) Promulgation and enforcement of such rules and regulations and such restrictions and/or requirements as may be deemed proper respecting the use, occupancy, and maintenance of the Condominium and the use of the Common Elements as re-designed to prevent unreasonable interference with the use and occupancy for the Common elements by the Unit Owners, all of which shall be consistent with law and the provisions of the By-Laws and the Declaration.
In effect, a condominium is a sub-unit of local government. Its Board of Directors are the elected officials responsible for its governance. There is an important difference, however: the members of the Board of Directors receive no compensation for their services.
