Proposed Election Rules attached for Membership Review and Comment

Dear Members:

The Board will consider adopting the attached Election Rules at an upcoming Board meeting. These Election Rules authorize the use of electronic voting in Association elections, except for votes regarding regular and special assessments. The effect of the proposed Election Rules is to reduce costs by allowing electronic voting in certain Association elections. Allowing electronic voting may also increase voter participation. Members will be allowed to continue to vote by mail (e.g., written ballots) if preferred. The purpose and effect of the proposed Election Rules is to provide the Board and Association Members with clear election policies and procedures.

You may forward any comments you have about the proposed Election Rules to the Board by July 31, 2025. The Board will consider your timely written comments or open forum comments at the July 14th Board meeting before voting on whether to adopt these Election Rules at an open board meeting scheduled for August 4th 2025. Only those written comments received prior to July 31, 2025 or comments made at the July 14, 2025 board meeting’s open forum will be considered by the Board in their voting process.

Mail or email your comments to: BTHAboard@balboaterrace.org or Balboa Terrace Home Association P.O. Box 27642 San Francisco, CA 94127

Balboa Terrace Board

Why Must BTHA Adopt Revised Governing Documents?

Our governing documents have remained largely unchanged since their inception in 1920, making them outdated and noncompliant with both state and federal laws. Additionally, these original documents did not anticipate the major shifts in state and local zoning laws that now threaten to fundamentally alter the character of Balboa Terrace. To ensure our community remains a historic single-family home enclave, it is essential to modernize our governing framework to protect against unwanted development pressures. Finally, California has adopted a robust set of laws regulating HOAs, primarily found in the Davis-Stirling Act. We need to update our governing documents to be compliant with that law and others that apply to HOAs.

A comprehensive summary of governing document changes and the rationale behind many of the updates is available in the summary below.

Copies of the existing CC&Rs and Bylaws can be requested from BAPS Management or viewed on the Homeowner Info page here.

To be voted on later this year.
