Unfortunately, the prompting of this post comes from a tragic story and an equally tragic loss.  DONIE VANITZIAN, an accomplished mediator-arbitrator for homeowner association matters is reported murdered in Los Angeles, according to the accounts below. Flipped here as well at the end of this post, is a SLIDESHOW archiving the last LATimes article that Vanitzian published.  Ironically, the topic is about "conflicts" of interest held by HOA attorneys when they have dual representation for HOAs and management companies at the same time.

DONIE VANITZIAN will be remembered as a champion voice for homeowners in common interest developments, aka HOAs.  Her untimely passing is the subject of tribute from numerous sources that follow the HOA industry, notably those who represent homeowners in the equation. ▶ SOURCE

Vanitzian, 67, died Dec. 28 at her house in Del Rey, the victim of an alleged homicide.

“The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has charged Vanitzian’s husband of 35 years, Thomas Foster, with one count of murder.

“Los Angeles Police Lt. John Radtke said Foster, 75, left a note detailing his plans to kill Vanitzian and then commit suicide. Foster was found at the home nearly unconscious, authorities said.

“Radtke said some evidence has emerged that Foster had a degree of mental illness.

“He pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

“It’s a tragic situation,” said Michael Krieger, a friend and occasional co-author of the Times column. ▶ SOURCE

The CA DSA Helps Ensure Open Governance, Yes or No?

🏛️ The purpose of the Davis–Stirling Act in ensuring open governance in California homeowners associations (HOAs) is rooted in the principles of transparency, accountability, and owner participation . The law mandates open operations for HOA boards because these boards function like local governments—making rules, levying fees, and enforcing penalties that affect property owners' rights and finances. ⚖️ Key Purposes for Open Governance under the Davis–Stirling Act: 1. Transparency of Board Actions HOAs must hold meetings in a way that homeowners can observe, attend, and participate . Open Meeting Act (Civil Code §4900–4955): Requires that board meetings (with few exceptions) be noticed and held in public. Prevents decisions being made behind closed doors unless legally permitted (e.g., legal issues, personnel matters). 2. Homeowner Access to Information Homeowners have the right to: Receive advance notice of meetings and agendas (Civil Code §4920). Revie...

Caveats about HOA CC&Rs

Image
Anyone who lives or has lived in a common interest development (aka homeowners association or HOA) has certain cognizance of the covenants, rules, and conditions (CC&Rs) of those "private government" communities.  Virtually every conflict that can and will arise in these locations is the result of CC&Rs that were initially drafted by the community developer and then perhaps altered or amended by the HOA attorneys.  Sometimes those changes need enabling legislation at the state level, but that is a whole different matter.  If the HOA lobby is not 100% behind those changes, the local HOA homeowner has little chance of effecting the change.

Flip②▶ #SocialCurrentSee by #ALTACITIES and #CANSWERIST ▶ Circa 1985 and the origins of the California Davis-Stirling Act governing HOAs pic.twitter.com/AImrsBR9SB — Mike Foxworth (@ALTALOMAN) March 14, 2017 With more than 9 million Californians as homeowners, residents of common interest developments (aka homeowner associations or HOAs), it stands to reason that there is a specific body of law to help govern these communities. Of course, that law is the Davis-Stirling Act (DSL), extant since 1985. Did you know?  The prime-position author of that law, the notable former and recalled Gov. Gray Davis actually did not write the law, but relied upon a San Diego law professor for the content with cooperation from fellow attorney and former CA Assemblyman Lawrence Stirling. The summary story is shared in the archive above. Actually, the origin and authorship standings for the Davis-Stirling Act is not really that unusual in California.  In order to get bil...
