ARTICLE 5: NOMINATIONS

5.1 Nomination Procedures and Notice. Prior to the election of Directors, the Board must, by written notice to all Members, solicit nominees. The solicitation must include the “Candidate and Director Qualifications” described above and provide general notice of the procedure and deadline for submitting a nomination. The deadline must be at least thirty (30) days after giving notice. Delivery of the solicitation must be given by individual notice, pursuant to Civil Code §4040, if individual notice is requested by a Member before the solicitation is given. Nominees must be listed as candidates on the ballot provided

(i) they meet candidate and Director qualifications and

(ii) their nomination is made prior to the date and time set for the close of nominations.

5.2 Self-Nomination. Any qualified person may nominate himself or herself for election to the Board of Directors by submitting to the Association a written statement signed and dated by the person nominating himself or herself. The Association must set a cut-off date for the receipt of self-nomination statements, which date must be publicized in advance to the Members.

5.3 Floor Nominations and Write-In Candidates. Once nominations have been closed, no write-in candidates are allowed on ballots and no floor nominations of candidates can be made at the ballot-counting meeting.

5.4 Uncontested Elections. In any election where the number of qualified candidates nominated exceeds the number of positions to be filled, voting for Directors must be done by secret written ballot. When, at the close of nominations, the number of qualified candidates nominated does not exceed the number of vacancies, the candidates may be declared elected by the Board, without need for balloting, and will take their seats on the date set for the annual membership meeting.

To submit your nomination or self-nomination, deliver a simple letter stating your nomination to the HOA Office before the deadline date of March 1,2026.

3.2 Candidate and Director Qualifications. Members must meet the qualifications in the subsections hereafter to be eligible for nomination as a candidate for, or to serve as a Director on, the Board. Any dispute about whether any of these qualifications are met and, if not, whether a nominee or Director must be disqualified from running for office or serving on the Board, must be made at a properly noticed disciplinary hearing conducted at an executive session Board meeting.

a. Candidates Must Be Members. The Association must disqualify the nomination of a candidate who is not a Member of the Association at the time of nomination. Proof of membership must be a recorded deed. Persons holding a fee simple interest in a Separate Interest merely as security for the performance of an obligation are not eligible to either be a candidate for or to serve on the Board.

b. Prior Ownership for at Least Six Months. To be eligible for nomination and/or to serve on the Board, a candidate for the Board or serving as a Director must be the record Owner of a Separate Interest for a period of at least six months.

c. Member in Good Standing. To be eligible for nomination and/or to serve on the Board, the person or impersonal entity must not be delinquent by more than sixty (60) days in the payment of any regular or special Assessment (following proper notice, hearing, and a finding by the Board), except:

i. A person may not be disqualified from nomination for nonpayment of fines, fines characterized as assessments, collection charges, late charges or costs levied by a third party.

ii. A person may not be disqualified from nomination because the person has paid the regular or special assessment under protest

iii. A person may not be disqualified from nomination due to delinquent assessments if the person has entered into a payment plan with the Association pursuant to Civil Code §5665 and is fulfilling the terms of the payment plan

d. Co-Owners Eligible for only One Position. To be eligible for nomination and/or to serve on the Board, the person or impersonal entity must not have a record fee simple ownership interest in a Separate Interest which is part of the Development with another person or impersonal entity concurrently serving as a Director. Where two or more co-owners concurrently seek election to the Board, only the first nomination will be effective.

e. Criminal Conviction. A person who has disclosed, or concerning whom the Board has become aware, of a past criminal conviction that would, if the person is elected, either prevent the Association from purchasing the fidelity bond coverage required by Civil Code §5806, or any successor statute, or which conviction would cause such coverage to be terminated, is ineligible for nomination to the Board. Each nominee, at the time of nomination, shall disclose the existence of any past criminal conviction and the details thereof, with sufficient details in order to allow the Association to determine whether the criminal conviction will prevent the Association from purchasing the required fidelity bond coverage.

f. Internal Dispute Resolution. Before any candidate for nomination or serving Director may be disqualified, the person or impersonal entity must be provided the opportunity to engage in internal dispute resolution as provided in the Davis Stirling Act.
