QUESTION: If
a committee wants to purchase a new item for the common areas, can we have a
fund raiser or can the purchase only be done with association monies?
ANSWER: You
can use private funds for common area improvements but you still need
board approval for the improvement. If an owner wants to donate a painting of Elvis on
black velvet to be hung in the building's main lobby, the board can, but
is not obligated to, accept the donation.
ASSISTANCE: Associations needing legal assistance can
contact us.
