Phoenix, Arizona Phone/Fax/Web p f The Misnomer of Unanimous Written Consent By Augustus H. Shaw IV, Esq., CCAL Increasingly, many homeowners associations (HOAs) and their Boards of Directors are using a method of effectuating HOA business without a Board meeting called unanimous written consent. While the use of unanimous written consent was fully appropriate a few years ago, recent statutory changes makes the use of unanimous written consent problematic. This article is designed to explain what unanimous written consent is and how it should properly be used. In simple terms, unanimous written consent is a procedure where a HOA Board, without conducting a Board Meeting, may approve of action items so long as all Board Members sign a written consent (A.R.S (E) allows for electronic and signature). Unanimous written consent is based on a provision of the Arizona Non Profit Corporations Act (A.R.S ) which states: Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, action required or permitted by chapters 24 through 40 of this title to be taken at a directors' meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all of the directors. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each director and included in the minutes filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken. Unanimous written consent is often used to obtain Board approval via regarding urgent or confidential matters. The interesting note in said usage is that unanimous written consent is rarely, if ever, needed in the HOA setting. This is because the common reasons to use unanimous written consent may be effectuated without actually using unanimous written consent. Some common examples of this are: 1. The HOA desires to engage an attorney to obtain advice or file a lawsuit. This decision may be made via pursuant to A.R.S (A) and A.R.S (A). Unanimous written consent is not needed.
11 Page 2 August 18, The HOA has to respond to an emergency situation. This decision may be made via pursuant to A.R.S (D)(2) and A.R.S (D)(2). Unanimous written consent is not needed. 3. The HOA desires to make a decision regarding an individual owner s delinquent account or violation status. This decision may be made via e- mail pursuant to A.R.S (A) and A.R.S (A) and unanimous written consent is not needed. The use of unanimous written consent has become increasingly problematic due to recent changes in Arizona law and policy. This may be seen in a recent change to the meetings statutes, as may be found in A.R.S (E) and A.R.S (E), which states, in part: It is the policy of this state as reflected in this section that all meetings of a planned community (or condominium), whether meetings of the members' association or meetings of the board of directors of the association, be conducted openly and that notices and agendas be provided for those meetings that contain the information that is reasonably necessary to inform the members of the matters to be discussed or decided and to ensure that members have the ability to speak after discussion of agenda items, but before a vote of the board of directors is taken. In this current extremely litigious HOA climate, HOAs should shy away from using unanimous written consent and instead take advantage of the exceptions in the open meeting requirements found in A.R.S (A), A.R.S (A), A.R.S (D)(2) and A.R.S (D)(2). While unanimous written consent is still technically able to be used, HOAs should use it only as an absolute last resort. Augustus H. Shaw IV, Esq., CCAL is the Founding Partner of Shaw & Lines, LLC.
