 September 2023 

Date: 091023 ... NRED, Classes and a Number of Other Important Items                                            

The NRED met with the owners of management companies and with some managers last week and some things were very clear.  I thought I would share some.

 

  1. Don’t ever ignore requests from the NRED.  If you are having trouble coming up with documents or something else, contact them and let them know as otherwise it does not make you look good and that you are ignoring them. 

  2. The NRED site for classes may be fixed, but if not the 9-21-2023 class put on by Silver State Fair Housing is in Las Vegas not Reno. The address got duplicated from the Ren one on 9-12.   I have attached both fliers again for Reno and Las Vegas so you have the information and can sign up correctly. 

  3. The law requires that you have 3 directors on the board at all times.  I know it can be a problem, but do not lie on the forms.  Any changes on the board must be sent into the Division on Form 623 within 30 days so please don’t forget to do it.  If you are having trouble getting directors, contact the NRED and they will try to help.

  4. Don’t lie on the insurance application, but if you put down on an application that you are not in compliance with Nevada law because of the above problem getting directors, they may not take the coverage.

  5. Solar Issues re:  Insurance and the laws in the CIC will be held on 10/25/2023 at 1:00 p.m. and is 2 General Hours on Zoom.  Contact me, please. CE.045000

  6. SNWA Tree Class will be offered by CAI on 11/29/2023 at 1:00 p.m.  2 Hours General Credits CE.0473000 - Register with me or CAI

  7. When you sign up for a class, please include your license number.  Below is what the provider has to do for each person when they don’t send their license number.  It is very time consuming.  See the green at the left hand at the bottom. The codes can be tricky and time consuming too for looking up each manager.

 August 2023 

Date: 081523 ... Classes on Zoom, in person  and information                                                                  

  1. Please find attached two classes from Silver State Fair Housing on Fair Housing and problems we create.  They are in person and in both Reno and Las Vegas.  They are attached and have credits. You sign up with who is shown on the flier attached. ...  RENO   LAS VEGAS

  2. On 10-25-23 at 1:00 p.m.  – Ed Song and Mark Coolman will be teaching the Solar Installation and how it affects insurance class on Zoom at 1:00 CE.0485000  2 Hours. – Sign up with me.

  3. On 8-16-2023 there is a water class that is on ZoomYou sign up with me if you wish to attend.  It is 2 Hours and CE.0445000 Financial Workshop AB 356 Water & Turf.  You sign up with me, please. In the last class we learned that many trees are dying because people are not doing the turf conversions right.  The tree class will be taught again on October 11th in person at the Molasky Center this water and turn removal class will be taught again, in person, on 11-8 at 1:00 p.m.. You sign up with me for all of them.

  4. AB 398 is a serious insurance bill that no one is talking about and it is about D & O coverage for your boards.  The Insurance Commissioner and others are working on some wording to get it out there as it goes into effect on 10-1-23, but so far no one is talking about it.  Mark Coolman will be teaching a class to discuss it once it is finalized and I will let all of you know when it will be taught so that you can understand what you need to know as it has serious changes. As carriers are already limited in Nevada it will be critical. It will be done on Zoom. I have attached an RJ article about this bill. Since it is budget season, please take this into account.

  5. I am still collecting the aluminum can tabs for Ronald McDonald House.  If you need a jar to collect them in let me know as I can stop one by.  It helps people remember to save them. I give them a serious acknowledgement that they came from the HOA industry so that we get positive action vs. the negative we always get. I have attached a flier to put in your newsletter if necessary to help me get them.

Date: 010623 ... Important information for 2023                                                                                           

  1. I thought I should tell you about my plans for 2023.  I will no longer be teaching the pre-licensing classes for Key Realty Schools.  It will be facilitated by Lara Knipmeyer-Garrell  for Key Realty Schools and the next sessions’ flier for February classes is attached if you want to sign someone up and save $50 on the classes ASAP before it changes.  I will still be offering CE classes.

  2. CAMEO is hosting my new 1 hour law class on 1-25-2023 at 11:00 a.m.   Because managers keep contacting me and asking me why it is in some of the documents mention these laws and the applicability of these laws, Ed Song, Esq. has agreed to teach my class.  It is on Zoom CAMEO is taking the reservations and the flier is attached. CE.0493000 1 Hr. Nevada Law  NRS 117, NRS 81, NRS 82 and the applicability’s to CIC’s.  It has not been taught before.

  3. The 2hour board training class set for 1-12-2023 will still be held at 5:00 p.m. on Zoom.  It is almost full so that if you have new directors who want to take this, please let me know so I can send the materials and the links. I am doing several in person, but this one is on Zoom.

  4. Don’t forget to check for unclaimed property for your Associaiton’s and the new interest rates that the States change every 1-1 and 7-1.

  5. Don’t forget the new bill that passed that limits the number of Provisionals that a Supervisory CAM can now supervise as it is changed to 5 as the maximum.  As soon as I hear the effective date I will let you know, as there were major changes in this bill.  I believe that the law firms will be getting a class out there soon to spread the word as it made changes to reserve providers and their license as well.

For some reason, the NRED didn’t put this class up on their board.  I have brought it to their attention, but it was properly noticed and will be held.  After teaching the Fair Housing class I immediately had 20 people sign up for this class because it is critical with all of the animal issues out there.   Let me know if you will attend. It is free.

 

       Topic: Companion & Emotional Support Animals - CE.0398000 Law – 2 Hours

       Time: Dec 9, 2022, 10:00 AM Pacific Time

 

I will be doing a 2-hour board training on Zoom on January 12th at 5:00 p.m.  for those of you who have boards who need the education. Please let me know with the e-mail addresses so I can send the handouts and link, please.  If you have directors who want it in the daytime, I can do another one as well later. It is free and anyone can attend.

 

There were 75 people signed up for a class the other day and only 39 showed up on Zoom. We've said this so many times, yet people seem to ignore the issue. It is only courteous to let the instructor know when you can’t attend, please, please, please. It also reflects on the professionalism of the individuals who consistently do this.

When I take them in I always say that they are from the HOA industry so that we at least get some kind of positive recognition in this industry.  Let me know when you have some or need a collection jar like the one I have attached a copy of.  It keeps people from having to touch the jar and to quickly contribute.  Flier   Container

  1. Do you really look at your water bills and compare them to last year's bill for the same period? Unfortunately, I do and this last month we were charged for 55,000 gallons where we only used less than 8,000 last year at this same time last year and we were out of town for 3 week this bill current billing cycle so …….  I contacted them and they admitted to making a reading error.  All readings are done online and someone sure made a big typo.  If I hadn’t contacted them We would been paying almost 7 times what our bill was.  Please look at the association and your personal bills and compare to last year.

The Solar class is being offered by CAMEO tomorrow 9-22-23 and will be taught live in LV at 9:00 a.m. at  FirstService Residential – It is 2 hours general credits and has never been taught before.  Mark Coolman and Ed Song Esq are the instructors and both of them have seen many issues with the solar installation issues in HOA’s.  Contact Mary at CAMEO info@cameo-nv.org,  or me, but do it as soon as possible so we have you down and enough copies of the handouts.

  1. I will be sending out the information the new students need for the pre-licensing classes on Friday and want anyone who is just delaying signing someone up to know so the student doesn’t miss out.

  2. The City of Henderson has again asked me to share this flier to anyone who wishes to attend the Southern Nevada Water Authorities water classes as it is critical that homeowners and board members know the differences that they can make in our critical condition.   It has the address and date on their flier.  9-28-22 9:00 – Noon ... We see so many trees dying because people are not doing it right, including the landscapers.

  3. There is a new solar class that is being taught by Ed Song, Esq. and Mark Coolman on 9-22-2022 at FirstService Residential.  It will cover the laws and the insurance issues with solar panels.  It is at 9:00 a.m. and 2-hour general credit class.   Here is he link to sign up. If for some reason it doesn’t work, contact Mary at info@cameo-nv.org.     https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07ejciw8hu6be672cf&oseq=&c=&ch=

  4. CAI will be offering a new class in October on Cyber Liability taught by Ron Wright.  I will let you know for sure when more information about it is available. It is a good class to sit in on to ensure you are covered and doing things right..

4. Two fliers attached on the Commission meeting on 9-13 – Please get active with your boards

and homeowners - The Commission on Common Interest Communities and Condominium Hotels (“Commission”) will consider new regulations regarding Health, Safety or Welfare (“HSW”) violations at an upcoming workshop on September 13, 2022, at 9:00am.  The new regulations impose strict limitations on what can be considered a HSW violation and also cap HSW violation fines at $5,000.   Please note that currently there is no monetary limit on the amount of a HSW violation fine, but the fine must be commensurate with the severity of the violation and consistent with the association’s governing documents.  Notice of Workshop   LCB File R129-21

 

It is important that you review the proposed regulations and plan to either testify at the upcoming workshop or submit your comments to the Commission.  This should be done even if you previously provided comments when the regulations were first proposed.

 

LKG urges you to consider your community and how these regulations would affect your Board’s ability to maintain property values, ensure the quiet enjoyment of your residents, and maintain a reasonable level of civility toward the Board, your community manager and other contractors, and among residents. We also urge the Board to consider whether these regulations indeed clarify for you what constitutes a HSW violation or further confuses the issue.

 

A copy of the proposed regulations is attached.  However, for your convenience, certain key sections are reprinted in blue text below. Please pay particular attention to the yellow highlighted phrases and consider their impact. 

 

Section 2 attempts to define what can be considered a HSW violation. First and foremost, please note that damage to property, no matter how precious or valuable, can never rise to the level of a HSW violation. Keep in mind that the maximum fine for a non-HSW violation is $100.  Considering other sanction options, many of your CC&RS limit the amount of time the Board can suspend membership privileges to 30-60 days, on average, assuming the Association has amenities where suspending privileges would constitute a “sanction.”
 

2. A violation of a provision of the governing documents of an association poses an imminent threat of causing a substantial adverse effect on the health, safety or welfare of the units’ owners or residents of the common-interest community if the violation, without limitation:

-

(a) Involves a lack of care or neglect which directly and immediately places one or more units’ owners, residents or invitees within the common-interest community in danger or direct threat of being harmed; or


(b) Is an intentional act which has the potential of causing immediate bodily harm to one or more units’ owners, residents or invitees within the common-interest community.

 

Under these proposed regulations, if a resident’s dog mauls and severely injures another resident’s dog, it is not a HSW violation. If an owner, in a drunken rage, takes a rock and beats on the body of two vehicles parked on the common element parking spaces causing thousands of dollars in damage, it is not a HSW violation.

 

Under these proposed regulations, intentional acts must have the potential of causing immediate bodily harm.  In other words, if a resident yells racial slurs or hangs a noose from a tree in his neighbor’s front yard or torments a fellow resident for having a developmental disability, it can never be a HSW violation because there is no “bodily” harm.  These same actions can, however, be a Fair Housing Act violation, for which the Association can be held responsible if it does not take those enforcement actions authorized under its governing documents.

 

Section 3 focuses on what is NOT a HSW violation.

3. A violation of a provision of the governing documents of an association does not pose an imminent threat of causing a substantial adverse effect on the health, safety or welfare of the units’ owners or residents of the common-interest community if the violation consists solely of:
 

(a) Using vulgar, profane or abusive language.

 

(b) Voicing opposition to, or support for, any matter affecting the common-interest community; or
 

(c) Any act committed by a unit’s owner, tenant or invitee of a unit’s owner or tenant which is:
 

(1) Permitted by this chapter or chapter 116 of NRS or any other applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance; or
 

(2) Considered to be a nuisance pursuant to a provision of the governing documents of the association.

 

Under the proposed regulation, profane or abusive language – no matter how foul and no matter how often repeated – can never rise to a HSW violation. Further, no conduct described in a nuisance provision of your governing documents can ever be a HSW violation.  Read your CC&Rs.  Most HSW violations are, in fact, addressed through the nuisance provision of your CC&Rs. Although this appears benign, it is not. For example, if a resident ignites fireworks during a period of high fire danger in violation of the nuisance provision, that is not a HSW violation. If a resident allows the condition of their unit to deteriorate to an extreme degree by allowing excessive weeds and plant materials to accumulate posing a fire danger or allowing trash, debris and other refuse to accumulate so as to attract vermin, both in violation of the CC&R nuisance provision, that is not a HSW violation.

 

It is our understanding from discussions with the Ombudsman that this is the version which NRED wants the Commission to adopt.  Without your participation by testifying at the workshop or submitting written comments prior to the workshop, this version will likely be adopted.

2023 was a new legislative year. 
Keep watch!

In Nevada, there was a lot of legislation that affects Common Interest Communities (CICs) and as you know, much of it isn't necessarily friendly to CIC Owners. Please continue to monitor Sara's blasts for
