  1. A community association wants to amend its CC&Rs. What process is typically required?

    Answer: A supermajority vote of the membership and recording of the amendment with the county

    CC&R amendments generally require a supermajority member vote (often 67–75%) and must be recorded in the public land records to be effective.

  2. Which ethical obligation requires a community manager to avoid using their position for personal financial gain at the association's expense?

    Answer: Conflict of interest avoidance

    Community managers must disclose and avoid conflicts of interest to uphold their fiduciary duty to the association and its members.

  3. What is the term for the legal duty of board members and community managers to act in the best interest of the association with care and loyalty?

    Answer: Fiduciary duty

    Fiduciary duty encompasses the duty of care (act prudently and informedly) and duty of loyalty (put the association's interests above personal interests).

  4. When a community manager receives a complaint about a potential Fair Housing Act violation, what is the MOST appropriate first response?

    Answer: Document the complaint, notify the board, and consult the association's legal counsel

    Fair Housing complaints carry significant legal liability; proper documentation, board notification, and legal counsel involvement protect the association.

  5. A newly elected board member wants to make decisions based solely on personal preference rather than the governing documents. What is the community manager's best course of action?

    Answer: Educate the board member on their fiduciary duty and the authority of governing documents

    Community managers play an advisory role; educating board members on governing documents and fiduciary duty helps prevent decisions that expose the association to liability.

  6. What is the primary purpose of maintaining accurate and complete board meeting minutes?

    Answer: To provide an official legal record of board decisions, actions, and attendance

    Minutes are the official legal record of what was discussed and decided; they protect the association and board members in disputes or audits.
