Governance

Board of Directors/Officers

The 5 Board of Directors/Officers and 2 Members-at-large manage the affairs of the Oaks of Edgewood HOA. The Board of Directors and Officers enforce and interpret the Association Declarations and Bylaws. This is a voluntary act of community service.

The annual homeowners meeting is held in November. New members are elected for two year terms to the Board with 4 elected in even numbered years and 3 in odd numbered years. Residents are encouraged to become Board members. The application form is available on this website.

It is the responsibility of the Board to set policies, standards, procedures and budget for the Association. Through its decisions the Board of Directors/Officers work to:

Maintain and improve member property values.
Protect, maintain and improve community assets and amenities.
Create and protect a family-safe environment.
Provide for the ‘business’ needs of the community.
Be fiscally responsible to members in the use of their membership dues.

Board members have volunteer committees who assist them with their specific assignments and responsibilities.

Homes Associations of Kansas City (HA-KC) is enlisted to provide “back office” support in areas such as printing, mailing, filing liens, general accounting, and collection of dues.

Budget
