Governance

Board of Directors

A volunteer Board of Directors manages the affairs of the Red Bridge Homes Association. The Board of directors enforces and interprets the Association Declarations and Bylaws.

Every year, at the annual homeowners meeting (held in November), new members are elected for a three year term to the Board. Residents are encouraged to become Board members. The application form is available on this website.

It is the responsibility of the Board to set policies, standards, procedures and budget for the Association.

Board members are responsible for specific assignments and have volunteer committees who assist them.

The Association enlists the services of Homes Associations of Kansas City (HA-KC) to provide “back office” support in areas such as printing, mailing, filing liens, general accounting, and collection of dues.

Voting Rights

Only the actual property owner may vote. One vote is allowed for each home owned in Red Bridge. Members may vote in person or by written proxy, which should be filed with the secretary of the Association. Members must be in good standing with all dues paid through the current date to be eligible to vote.

Budget

The annual budget is set each fall by the Board and approved by Members during the annual meeting. The budget is based on projected income (dues), expenses (the costs of services for the community), and reserves held against future major costs. The HOA fiscal year runs from December 1 through November 30 of each year.
