TLHOA By-Laws: What Every Member Should Know
At the heart of the Toluca Lake Homeowners Association (TLHOA) is a commitment to maintaining a safe, welcoming, and engaged community. The By-Laws serve as the official rules that guide how our nonprofit operates—helping ensure transparency, fairness, and shared responsibility.
Here’s a brief summary of the most important things members should know:
Key Purpose
TLHOA exists to promote community engagement, enhance public safety, and support the overall quality of life in Toluca Lake. As a nonprofit public benefit corporation, we operate entirely for the good of the neighborhood—not for private gain.
Membership
While TLHOA has no formal voting members under state law, all residents within the Toluca Lake boundaries are encouraged to participate in meetings, events, and initiatives. Associate membership options may be offered, but without voting rights.
Governance
The Association is led by a Board of Directors composed of 8 to 15 local homeowners. Board members serve two-year terms and must have lived in Toluca Lake for at least two years. The Board manages all corporate affairs and meets at least eight times a year, including the Annual and Mid-Year General Meetings.
Officers
The Board elects officers, including a President, Secretary, and Treasurer. These individuals help manage day-to-day functions, finances, and records of the Association.
Committees
The Board may form committees—such as Safety, Beautification, or Events—to support specific projects and initiatives. Committees report back to the Board and help keep things running smoothly.
Operational Limitations
TLHOA is strictly nonpartisan and does not engage in political campaigns or lobbying. It also prohibits any activity that would benefit individuals financially at the expense of the community.
Meetings and Communication
The Board ensures regular communication with residents, and meeting notices are provided via email or other methods at least 48 hours in advance. All major decisions require a quorum (40% of board members present).
Financial Transparency
The Association maintains clear financial records and, if gross revenues exceed $2 million in any year, a formal audit will be conducted. All financial decisions are subject to Board review and approval.
