POA Assumes Management of Architectural Control Committee

The Bella Vista Property Owners Association (POA) board of directors voted to approve the transition of architectural control committee (ACC) management from the developer, Blue Crane, to the POA. This transition, effective August 1st, 2026, aims to increase transparency, community involvement, and efficiency in the ACC's operations. Key changes include making ACC board meetings open to the public, establishing a new POA election and ACC nomination committee, and separating ACC finances from POA finances. The board also approved several policy changes to reflect these transitions, including updates to definitions, election procedures, and the declaration itself. The move is intended to streamline the approval process for members while ensuring the POA remains financially stable and that community standards are maintained.
