Your Board of Directors and all committee members are volunteers. Help and cooperation is always greatly appreciated. If you feel that you can contribute and wish to volunteer for a committee, please contact that committee at the email listed below.

FINANCE COMMITTEE

Per the ByLaws, the Board of Directors (BOD) has the responsibility of the keeping of corporate and financial records of the HPA. The BOD “shall fix, change or amend the annual dues and assessments as required to provide the association with sufficient operating capital”. Our accountant for many years, James Ferrier, has been a valuable volunteer.  James is retiring from the accountant duties for our association.  He is so appreciated for his many years of service!

Committee Members:  

 Rachel Ruiz has volunteered to take over the Finance Committee duties.   Thank you, Rachel!!

Withdrawals of funds over $500 require the signatures of two directors.  An operating budget is maintained and the financial statements (profit & loss, and balance sheet) are published a minimum of quarterly.  See Financials.  The cash assets are held in a daily cash fund for current operating expenses and in longer term investments.  The responsibility of investment is protection of principal, while seeking a decent yield.  See Unrecorded Rules and Regulations:  Investment of Funds Policy.

COVENANT COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE (CCC) Per Paragraph 1 of the Declaration of Protective Covenants
“The intent of  these covenants is to preserve Highland Park as an exclusive, high quality residential area of lasting value…Property owners in Highland Park must be people who value quality, who will respect, uphold and observe the letter, spirit and intent of these covenants, who will insist upon their strict enforcement, and who are willing to share equitably and pay the expenses of legal enforcement, if necessary.”

TO SUBMIT A FORMAL COMPLAINT:
Please contact a Board Member or a Covenant Compliance Committee member by email.  It will be helpful for a complainant to review the Covenants, and Policies and state exactly what rule is believed to be in need of enforcement.

An overwhelming majority of our owners understand and support the intent of our covenants.  The responsibility for enforcement rests solely with the individual property owners.  The ACC and BOD are the appointed and/or elected representatives of the owners and must cooperate with and support their decisions.  To that end, the ACC and the BOD may act to enforce the covenants.  To act in ways that are
transparent and equitable, the BOD has developed written policies that deal with enforcement of our covenants and rules.
See Unrecorded Rules and Regulations:  Covenant and Rule Enforcement Policy, Collection of Fines Policy,
Alternative Resolution Policy.
It is the intention and desire of the committee members to act in all ways fair, reasonable and with respect.
