Governor Abbott's Executive Order to Reopen Texas
for Business, and Its Effect on POAs
Join Founding Shareholder Marc Markel as he moderates a
discussion on Governor Abbott's executive order GA-18. Marc will be
joined by Shareholders Clint Brown and Leah K. Burton and Associates
Teddy Holtz and Ashley Koirtyohann. During the webinar, the attorneys
will discuss how the executive order affects POAs from the perspective
of reopening offices and amenities, deed restriction enforcement
drivearounds and assessment issues.
After months of social distancing and quarantining
related to Covid-19, it is imperative that community associations look
to the months ahead and prepare accordingly. Summer is right
around the corner and many parents will be eager for the school year to
be over and their feeble attempts at home schooling to be a thing of
the past. It stands to reason that the community pool will be a
popular destination for many of these families looking to leave the all
too familiar confines of their homes and enjoy the outdoors.
Associations should evaluate and assess what processes, protocols and
procedures should be employed, when reopening the pool, to reduce the
spread of the virus.
Planning for the Future: Strategic Planning in a
Property Owners Association
By Teddy Holtz
Similar to planning for retirement, the best time for a
community association to implement a strategic plan was years ago, but
the second-best time to start planning is today. Here are tips that
will assist your Association in becoming financially successful and
well-prepared to handle routine maintenance, unanticipated
expenditures, and a disaster event or ongoing crisis, with an eye
toward getting to a financial state where you can tackle those dream
projects of yours.
Join Community Association's Institute's San Antonio
Chapter for a virtual May luncheon. During the luncheon, Shareholder
Leah K. Burton will lead a presentation on Pools, Amenities and
COVID-19: Will There Be a Summer of Fun? Leah will break down how POAs
should approach their pools and amenities as the COVID-19 pandemic
progresses and hopefully comes to an end.
