The Management Company

Ashbrook should be considered not only a lovely neighborhood and a place where many families live, but also as an important, well run business. The decisions of this business are made by the Board of Directors who are required to ensure that it is effectively and efficiently maintained.

Because the members of the Board are volunteers and usually have many other responsibilities, the governing documents allow for the Board to hire a Management Company to carry out the administrative duties and the day-to-day operations of the Association. The Management Company does not make decisions for the Board, rather it carries out the duties as required by the Board to meet the needs of the Association.

The Management Company provides details to the Board of the items that are in need of attention by the Board. For example, insurance, landscaping contracts, general maintenance, items of concern, and of course all of those pesky violations within the community. The Management Company also develops and provides specifications for each contract as needed by the Association to the Board of Directors, and generally makes a recommendation for services based on price, references, and overall experience with each contractor. Once the Board has made a decision on the contractor, Management is tasked with carrying out the provisions of the contract. Where committees have been developed, the committee chairperson works in concert with the Management Company in overseeing the contracts as assigned.

The Management Company also is responsible for collecting all dues as approved by the Board during the annual budgeting process. The expenses of the Association are also paid by the Management Company and recorded in the form of financial statements of income and expense.

Because the administrative side of the Association is quite extensive (e.g., interacting with the homeowners of the Association, letter writing, contact with the legal authority ensuring compliance with all current laws governing Associations and Corporations, collection of delinquent accounts, acceptance of all correspondence assisting the Board and committee members and violation enforcement) a professional administrator is needed. Again, the Management Company provides these services to the Association through the direction of the Board of Directors.

Overseeing the general maintenance of the Association is another responsibility carried out by the Management Company at the direction of the Board of Directors.
