What
is the purpose of the Board of Directors and
what is their role?
The Board of Directors is responsible for maintaining the assets of the community, ensuring the financial health of the association, determining the level of services, and establishing policies and/or rules and regulations governing the use of the common areas. The Board has a fiduciary responsibility to do what is in the best interest of the association and to provide leadership in community affairs as dictated by the Governing Documents. This includes timely collection of assessments as well as payments made for services provided to the Association. In general, the Board Members are the decision makers for the Association. The Board of Directors is made up of individual homeowners who live within the same Cameron Station and who are elected to that position by the members of the Association. All affairs of Cameron Station Community Association are governed by the Board of Directors.
Why
can't I get the addresses, and phone numbers
of my Board of Directors? Don't they work for
me?
Your Board of Directors makes decisions for your Association. However, they are volunteers and receive no compensation for the jobs that they perform. Community Management Corporation (CMC) represents the Board and your Association, which entails being a contact for most communications addressed to the Board. Also, legally we are not allowed to give out personal information of any homeowner including your Board of Directors.
How
can I find out how my Association dues are being
utilized?
Your Community Manager can provide you with this information. However, your Association has an Annual Meeting where your Board of Directors discusses the financial aspect of the Association with the homeowners. Attending this meeting can be very enlightening and helps each homeowner understand the workings of a Homeowners Association. Additionally, you may also attend a monthly Financials Advisory Committee meeting, where the financial status is discussed.
What
are Assessments and how are they spent?
In order for the Board to accomplish the many tasks for which it is responsible, the association needs operating funds for daily maintenance, repairs, administration and adequate Reserve funds for major repairs or replacements of capital items. As a member of the association, you are required to pay a share of the costs.
If
I lost the copy of the Association documents
I received at my closing, how do I obtain another
copy?
Contact the Management office. All requests
for documents should go through the On-site
Management office. However, you may also view
and print the documents on the community website
at no charge.
Why
is it when I call to speak to my Community Manager,
she/he is not always available?
Your Community Manager performs many tasks for your Association and sometimes these tasks require them to be away from the office. These tasks consist of but are not limited to: weekly inspections, meeting with vendors and Board Members and homeowners. There are also times when a Community Manager is in the office but is unavailable because they are on the phone conducting business with other homeowners, vendors, or Board Members.
How
does the management company handle issues and
complaints?
Complaints should be submitted in writing to the Management Office. Complaints should state the problem; identify the offending homeowner, and the date(s) of the offense(s). Just as in any court of law, the offender has the right to know who is complaining and what he/she is being accused of. He/she is also entitled to a hearing before the Board. Please be sure of your facts before filing complaints.
When
selling my home, who at my management company
do I need to contact?
Please contact the Association office to order a resale/disclosure packet for Cameron Station. If you own a condo, you will also need to obtain a resale packet from your Condominium Association. Please contact your Condominium Management Company for pricing and details.
What
is a homeowners association?
The
Association is a legal corporation organized
and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia. The Association has Articles of
Incorporation that entitle the association to
exercise powers of a corporation. By purchasing
a home within your community association, you
automatically become a member of the association
and will remain so for as long as you own your
home. Membership in the association is mandatory
and automatic for all owners. The deed to each
lot and/or parcel specifically designates that
the property owner will comply with the Covenants,
Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's) of
the association. You should have received a
copy of these documents at the time your home
purchase was closed by the title company. As
a property owner in a community association,
you will be required to pay assessments, abide
by the community's rules and restrictions and
maintain those areas of your home for which
you are responsible

Besides
parking violations, are there other violations
that could result in my vehicle being towed
or fined?
Yes, instances that may subject a vehicle to
immediate towing without prior notification
to the vehicle’s owner include vehicles
parked in a fire lane or near a fire hydrant;
occupying more than one parking space; extending
beyond parking lines; impeding access to sidewalks,
street corner ramps, or mailboxes; or vehicles
whose security system has been triggered and
allowed to continue for more than 15 minutes.
Instances that might result in a fine include:

within the community; performing major vehicle
repairs or maintenance; failure to register
a vehicle with the HOA; parking of vehicles
that extend onto a sidewalk from a driveway
pad; and placement of a portable storage container
in a visitor parking space without HOA approval.
What
about parking moving vans and portable storage
containers in parking spaces?
Parking a moving van/truck for less than 24
hours does not require approval. Residents needing
to park moving and other storage vehicles for
more than 24 hours need to notify the HOA, which
can grant a permit for no more than three days.
Regarding portable storage containers, residents
must notify the HOA in writing seven days prior
to the date the resident receives delivery of
the storage container. The portable container
may occupy one parking space as designated by
the HOA for no more than three days.
