Curious to know more about what your Board does?

The Board is governed by the Master documents of the association, which means the Board only has the powers given to it by the CC&Rs and By-Laws of the community. For all the finer details, you can find our governing documents under the 'Documents' Tab. The following is an excerpt from the Cottages at Indian Park By-Laws Article III, Section 17 Powers, and Duties of the Board:
