ORPS - Capital Expenditure
Date:
Monday, January 11, 2021 4:59:51 PM
ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED – DO NOT DISSEMINATE TO THIRD PARTIES
Good afternoon, Ed,
As discussed, I am writing to provide the Board of Directors with my opinion as to whether it should include a capital expenditure measure on the annual meeting ballot. It’s my understanding that the Board is looking to spend approximately $400k to install soundproofing material/ walls around the pickleball courts. Pursuant to Article 4, Section 4.6(B) of the Second Restated Declaration, the Board can only make expenditures for capital improvements in excess of 5% of the budgeted gross expenses for the fiscal year with the vote or written consent of a majority of a quorum of the Voting Power. The Board is contemplating including a measure on the annual meeting ballot for the Members to vote on this expenditure. Article 5 of the Second Restated Bylaws sets forth two different quorum requirements for membership meetings. For the annual meeting, quorum is one-third of the Voting Power. For all other membership meetings, quorum is a majority of the Voting Power. While “quorum” is not defined for the capital expenditure vote, conservatively, it is our opinion that the higher quorum threshold (majority) should be used for the capital expenditure vote. To do otherwise would not only create a potential legal challenge but could also create an appearance of impropriety (i.e., the Board is only bundling the capital expenditure vote on the annual meeting ballot to push it through with a lower approval threshold). Further, it’s my recollection that this was the approach taken in relation to the Bylaw amendment included on the annual meeting ballot in 2020. Due to the fact that there would be two quorum requirements at play (1/3 for the annual meeting and majority for the capital expenditure), we do not recommend that they be consolidated on the same ballot. It is foreseeable that quorum could be met for the annual meeting but not the capital expenditure vote. In that situation, the inspector could not separately postpone the meeting and tabulation of the capital improvement ballots and simply proceed with the annual meeting. The ballots would have to be opened and tabulated. At that point, the election is over and the Board would need to start over with the capital expenditure vote. Accordingly, we do not recommend that the Board bundle the capital expenditure vote with the annual meeting vote. In the alternative, we recommend that the Board hold a separate, standalone vote for the capital expenditure. This would be a much simpler process since capital expenditure votes are not subject to the Election Operating Rules or the election laws set forth in Civil Code Section 5100 et seq., unless the Board determines to apply them to such a vote. This is expressly stated in Rule 1 of the Election Operating Rules and supported by Article 4, Section 4.4 of the Second Restated Bylaws. This means that the Board does not have to mail out a preballot notice 60 days in advance of the voting deadline or mail out a ballot with two envelopes. It could simply mail or email (if Owners have opted in to receiving notifications electronically) a cover letter and ballot to the Owners and request that
the Owners return the ballot via mail, email or fax. The ballot need only comply with the requirements set forth in Section 5.9 of the Second Restated Bylaws (i.e., set forth the proposed action, provide an opportunity to specify approval or disapproval of any proposal, indicate the number of responses needed to meet quorum and the percentage necessary to pass the measure, and provide a reasonable time within which to return the ballot to the Association). This flexibility obviously gives the Board more time to lay the groundwork and build support for the vote as well. I should note that some Owners may question why the vote is being conducted in a different manner than the annual director election. This can be easily explained in the cover letter. However, the Board can always opt to subject this vote to the requirements of the election laws and Election Operating Rules if desired.
Please don’t hesitate to call if the Board has any questions. Thanks!
Best regards, Christina

Hi Ed:
Hope you are well since I last saw you back in August. We made an effort to try to settle this claim with Mr. Good without litigation, but as you can see from the attached he has gone ahead and filed a lawsuit. I'm not sure why he filed as we had made an offer to his attorney but his attorney never made any type of counter offer. In fact, we sent his attorney several e-mails inquiring if we could settle. It's possible he filed because the statute of limitations runs in a few weeks. However, he may have filed because he's building a big claim (hopefully not the case). Anyhow, I don't need anything from you at this time as I believe you and your security staff already provided me with everything I need at this time. However, I'll keep you posted as to all updates on this claim. If you ever have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact me.

RE: ORPS -CVWD Update
Date:
Friday, January 15, 2021 10:51:21 AM
Good morning, Ed, This serves as a brief update on where things stand with the negotiation of the CVWD purchase.
Inquiry: Can the Association simply obtain an easement over the entire eastern parcel or just the 5’ area adjacent to the existing wall? Response: CVWD cannot provide an easement over area that is inside of the existing wall. It is an active public drinking water facility and has to be protected. In relation to the 5’ area, Chris Bogan does not believe that the area is passable for pedestrians due to the vegetation. I do not have a visual of that 5’ strip so I can’t weigh in on that point. Regardless, this may not be a desirable option since the 5’ strip appears to run up against the Lots abutting the CVWD property. If this were a possibility, we could simply obtain an easement over the 5’ area, there would be no need to build a new wall and the term/ termination of the non-exclusive dog park license becomes less of a factor. Inquiry: Can the Association simply install a chain link fence instead of a block wall? Or, in the alternative, can the Association install a temporary chain link fence and later a block wall? Response: No chain link fencing will be permitted. CVWD has provided minimum wall specifications to the Association that must be met. Inquiry: Can the Association provide a cash deposit or other security such that it is not required to construct a wall along the eastern parcel before it owns the property. Response: No, CVWD requires that the wall be relocated before escrow closes.
Chris Bogan also indicated that CVWD’s attorney has determined that this purchase is exempt from the latest revisions to the Surplus Land Sale Act and the procedure does not have to be modified.
I have also reached out to Prime and am in the process of setting up a call with Brett Kelly and the owner.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
