Condominium Law Group Zoom Q&A - November 5, 2025

Condominium Law Group Zoo…

The Zoom recording for this video got messed up and the closed captioning did not "survive" the error. We apologize for the inconvenience and accessibility issue!

Today's Topics:

  • Discussion re: "working sessions," board meetings, and open meeting requirements.
  • Could a "chat board" with owner access allow boards to make decisions outside of meetings? (We think NO)
  • Discussion of contracts and bids - open session or executive session?
  • How owners can reject a budget at a ratification meeting
  • Paying income tax on reserve earnings from the reserve fund
  • How does the architectural control process usually work? How about in a condo?
  • How can owners reject a budget when meetings are held virtually?
  • Can a subsequent owner be required to remove hard surface flooring installed by a previous owner?
  • Can tenants serve on the board?
  • Can the board authorize the management company to approve work under a certain $ threshold, allowing the manager to move forward with certain things between board meetings?
