Vote on actions that require approval of the Membership
GOMO came into existence as a mandatory POA in 2003 thru an amendment to the deed restrictions. In 2018 The courts ruled that GOMO was not correctly procedurally created. Short version is that GOMO still exists, has approximately $300,000, but cannot operate fully as a POA and fulfill its mission statement. Interested in going a little deeper on the history?
First step to properly reestablish GOMO as a fully operationally Property Owners Association is to adopt Bylaws that are consistent with current state laws and GOMO’s current legal status. With frequent changes by the Texas Legislature, bylaws should be reviewed and possibly amended every several years. Our current bylaws date from 2014.
Adoption of these Bylaw changes requires voter approval by the Membership. A link to the proposed revised verbatim Bylaws and a detailed recap of the changes will be posted here.
