The board of director are looking into setting up a website for the association.
The cost for this will run about $ 125.00 to set up and about $ 60.00 per month to run

Several directors feel that this is outside of the board to establish and would
Require member approval.

This is not a health or safety issue and would benefit those that have rental property
By featuring association amenities

Hank,

Sounds like your looking at a full service provider on the website. Shop around, even with full service you should be able to find it less then that. If you have anyone who is willing to learn, there are a lot of programs out there to help a beginner design a site.

Our Association has had a website for several years. It's paid out of the operating fund and managed by volunteers. The Association considers the site as a way to comply with various VA laws (providing notice of meetings, providing a free method for members to communicate with each other, etc.).

I think you are asking whether the board of directors can do this on their own without a member vote.

Unless state law or your governing documents require such a vote, the board has the power to spend money for those items that are normal to carrying out the business of the association. A website that will allow better communication between the association and its members falls into that category. The board has no need to place this issue before the members.
