OWNER DECISION FORM.
Your Board of Directors has determined that the existing Bella Vista Declaration and By-Laws needed to be revised. This change requires the written (signed) approval of a minimum of 60% (49) of the owners of the Association. The revised documents have been prepared with the direction and assistance of the law firm of Costello Sury & Rooney, P.C. located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.
The decision to revise the documents is a result of the following events and activities that have transpired since they were originally approved by Hartz Construction in 2015:
(A) Remove references to approvals needed from Hartz since they no longer own any of the property within Bella Vista.
(B) Recognize changes in the Illinois General Not-For-Profit Corporation Act of1986 as amended from time to time.
(C) Consider changes needed due to the passage of the “Illinois Common Interest Community Corporation Act” CICCA.
(D) Incorporate any requirement mandated by the “Corporate Transparency Act” which was recently adopted.
(E) Make minor changes to ensure consistency between these documents and the policy and procedures instituted since we
assumed management responsibility for the Association’s activities in 2020.
To ensure that all owners receive these revised documents we request that as soon as you receive this email, you acknowledge, by responding to Lela LaHa immediately, either by email or a phone call, that you have received the email and the related documents.
If Lela does not get a return email or phone call within seven (7) days you will be contacted via a telephone call to confirm whether or not you received the information.
If you want a hard copy of any of these documents, which are attached to this email, and cannot print them, please contact one of the Board members and we will deliver them to your home. These documents are also posted on our Bella Vista HOA website. We are aware that a few owners are not connected to the internet and we will deliver hard copies of this email and documents to them.
Please approve or disapprove, and then return the signed “Owner Decision Form” which is included as an attachment to Lela. All three HOA Board members will also have blank Owner Decision Forms available, if don’t want to print or cannot print a copy. We hope to get this completed before the end of January.
If you have any questions or comments, before (or after) signing the document, please contact any one of the Board members.
When, and if, we receive written approval from 60% (49) of the owners to proceed, the signed documents will be submitted to the appropriate village and county officials, thereby replacing the existing documents.
Thanks in advance for your assistance in this important matter.
