Type: Planned development
Separate interests: 61
Where: Birch Creek Drive at Vineyard, Alameda County
Status: Suspended by the franchise tax board
Form: Nonprofit mutual benefit corporation

Alameda County, California. Marked where Birch Creek Drive meets Vineyard, the streets the association filed, found in the Census Bureau’s street map. The homes are near that corner, not necessarily on it.

Its next election, worked out for 61 homes

One inspector, or three

Every election needs independent inspectors — one or three, never two. A director, a candidate, or anyone related to one cannot serve, and neither can anyone under contract to the association for other paid work — which rules out its management company.

§ 5110(a)–(b)

13 members, if quorum fails

If the governing documents require a quorum and the election misses it, a reconvened meeting at least 20 days later needs only 20 percent of the members — 13 of 61, counting one membership per home. Not if the documents already set a lower quorum.

§ 5115(b)(6)

Thirty days, twice

General notice of the nomination procedure at least 30 days before the nomination deadline, and ballots mailed or delivered at least 30 days before voting closes. The rules that make those possible come months earlier.

§ 5115(a), (c) · work out the dates

Get quotes from inspectors of elections

One request goes to every inspector of elections listed with quoroom. They reply to the association directly, the board appoints by its election rules, and the contract and payment are between the association and the inspector. quoroom is not a party and takes nothing. The inspectors are listed, not vetted. How it works.
