ORHA BOARD MEETINGS
(updated 6-11-21)
 Policy:
The only items that will be discussed at ORHA Board meetings will be those listed on the Agenda for that meeting, except for items of an emergency nature. Homeowners are urged to attend the Board meetings. They are encouraged to participate in discussing the community issues and concerns after the Board has completed its Agenda, or as recognized by the Chair.

The ORHA Board of Directors may permit Directors to participate in regular or special meetings by, or conduct the meeting using, any means of communication by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting, as is consistent with Florida Statutes.

Procedure:
Anyone wishing to have an item on the Agenda of an ORHA Board meeting must submit the item at least three days prior to the meeting, in order to allow ample time for the President to include all items on the Agenda, as well as to produce and deliver a formal Agenda to the monthly General meeting. All Neighborhood Representatives will be recognized for reports at Board meetings. 

NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION
Function:
Serve as liaison between the Residents of their neighborhood, the ORHA Board and DECCA.

Duties and Responsibilities:
Discuss with the residents of their neighborhood the desires of the residents which pertain to the purpose of ORHA.

Attend monthly scheduled meetings with the ORHA Board in order to:
  • Communicate the views and desires of the residents of their neighborhoods.
  • Discuss matters of mutual interest.
  • Be knowledgeable of the business conducted by the ORHA Board.
Serve on committees formed by the ORHA Board, if needed.

Encourage the residents of their neighborhood to uphold the rules and regulations for the use of the recreational facilities and to abide by the covenants and deed restrictions.

Assist with distribution of Oak Run phone directories to the residents of their neighborhood. 

ORHA FUNDS HANDLING
Policy:
It is the policy of the ORHA Board that all funds generated by Standing Committees be handled in a prudent manner. ORHA funds will only be used for the ORHA business. ORHA funds will not be used to donate to any charity, group or organization.

Procedure:
For all Standing Committees except BINGO;
The most desirable form of payment is by check, payable to ORHA. These checks should be promptly deposited in the ORHA account and a report forwarded to the ORHA Treasurer by the chairperson of the committee. A receipt should be brought to the Treasurer directly after balancing to the committee report.

Cash payments associated with the ticket sales are appropriate, provided that a record of the number of tickets issued is made part of the report to the ORHA Treasurer. All cash generated by ticket sales and any other activities should be balanced by two members of the committee under the direction of the chairperson. Funds should be promptly deposited in the ORHA account and a receipt forwarded to the ORHA Treasurer.

Copy machine receipts should be collected by an ORHA Board appointed individual and deposited in the ORHA account and a report forwarded to the ORHA Treasurer.  

Procedure for the BINGO Committee;
Due to the cash operation of Bingo, it is appropriate that specific procedures apply. Sales records of the number of units sold will be maintained as part of the Bingo operation. The cash register will be balanced by two members of the committee under the direction of the chairperson. Cash register shortages and surpluses will be part of the records maintained.

Cash receipts should be promptly deposited in the ORHA BINGO account and a report (including bank deposit receipt) forwarded to the ORHA Treasurer. A backup sheet will be maintained for the Bingo records. 

CHECK DISBURSEMENT
Policy:
Checks will be issued by the Treasurer as required to conduct the authorized activities of ORHA.

Procedure:
No check will be issued without proper support documentation. No check will be issued without the proper signatures. All checks drawn on the ORHA checking account will be signed by the Treasurer and the President, or Vice President of the ORHA Board. 

ORHA PETTY CASH FUNDS
Policy:
In order to facilitate transactions, particularly those of a minor dollar amount, petty cash funds may be established.

Procedure:
When a Standing Committee, Officer, or Appointee has a petty cash fund established for their use in performing their duties, it will be their responsibility to maintain the funds. These funds will be used for miscellaneous purchases.

When an expenditure is made, a proper receipt will be obtained. In requesting funds replacement from the ORHA Treasurer, an original (or, when necessary, a copy) receipt will be provided the Treasurer along with supporting documentation.

The President, or Vice-President, may authorize spending or reimbursement for legitimate ORHA related necessities in an amount not to exceed $250.00.

The petty cash fund will be kept in balance by the sum of cash on hand and expenditure receipts. 

ORHA PURCHASING
Policy:
The Purchasing Agent for the ORHA Board will be appointed at the beginning of each Board term. The Purchasing Agent may serve as many consecutive terms as the Board wishes.

Responsibilities:
The Purchasing Agent will obtain, whenever practicable, three prices for any item being considered for purchase with a price in excess of $250.00. Bids obtained will include complete specifications or detailed description as appropriate. This information will be provided to the ORHA Board for purchase consideration. 

ORHA LOST & FOUND
The ORHA Board has set up a Lost & Found service operated by a resident volunteer. This volunteer reports the status of Lost & Found at the monthly General Meeting.

The purpose of this service is to have a central location for items lost in the Oak Run community, and a place for residents to be able to drop off found articles and claim lost articles.

Lost or found items deemed by the board to be of minimal value will be held for a period of three months. Items considered having either high dollar or sentimental value will be held for at least one year. All items that exceed the time limits listed above may be disposed of either by sale or donation to an appropriate charity. Decisions to dispose of the items will be at the discretion of the ORHA Board.

Statements issued in the name of the Committee must be made by majority consent.

One Director shall be named by the Board to serve as liaison to the Committee.

no interest of any kind in any home site shall be conveyed;
no home site shall be leased, rented, or loaned;

Other quantitative metrics may be requested by action of the ORHA Board to be incorporated into the quarterly summary report.

The Committee shall take  measures to protect the privacy of residents, to include shredding and proper disposal of all substantiating documents containing personal information upon conclusion of their use.

Ambassadors Ticket Selling Policy

Policy:
Tickets to Ambassadors events will be placed on sale, such that they will be made available at a minimum of two ORHA public functions (Donut Drop-In, Pancake Breakfast and White Elephant Sale), one independently scheduled sale date and by direct contact with the Ticket Seller after the initial public sale date.

No dance or cabaret tickets will be sold prior to the first sale date to give all residents fair access to seats and tables with no preferential treatment to anyone. Tables for the White Elephant and Craft Fair events are pre-sold on a first come, first served basis.

Residents buying tickets for non-residents will provide the name of each non-resident and assure that they will be accompanying the non-resident at all times during the event. Non-residents attending Ambassador events may in no way control the event by assisting with organizing or setup, by dictating timing or sequence, or by specifying anything that happens. All non-residents in attendance should be bona fide overnight guests as defined in the ORHA Policies and Procedures.

Because of the complexity of each transaction, a Ticket Seller will sell tickets to only one event at a time. Multiple event sales will each require a separate Ticket Seller.

SCHEDULING FACILITIES
(revised 10-18-21)
Policy:
Scheduling use of recreational facilities has been delegated to the Oak Run Homeowners Association (ORHA) by the Developer, subject to the Developer's final authority. It is the policy of the Developer that activities and programs shall be open to all residents, except private activities cleared by ORHA.

The ORHA Scheduler is a non-voting officer of the ORHA Board of Directors organization and is appointed by the ORHA Board. The Scheduler may name as many assistants as he or she deems necessary. These assistants must be approved by the ORHA Board.

The goal of scheduling is to enable maximum use of facilities by groups, clubs, organizations, and individuals and to prevent exclusion of new users. The ORHA Board reserves the right to preempt use of a facility at any time for business of the Association, for Oak Run Health Fairs and Flu Shot Clinic. Special consideration is given to performing arts groups in the two weeks prior to their event and memorials of residents.

Clubs, groups and organizations may make an annual request to meet once every other month. Clubs, groups and organizations which involve physical activities, cards, games, crafts, or music may make an annual request to meet more frequently (daily, weekly, bi-weekly).

Groups that meet more than once a month may be preempted in favor of a single event (private party/special event). It is the goal of the ORHA Board to limit any preempting to no more than once a month.

Neighborhood groups may request a facility reservation twice each year.

Oak Run residents may request a facility reservation for private activities, providing that use is for the Oak Run homeowner or resident and not for an outside entity. ORHA Board approval is required.

All clubs, groups and organizations are required to submit a Room Request on an annual basis.

Additional room reservations for all clubs, groups, organizations, neighborhoods, and residents are handled on a first-come, first-scheduled basis, after all Oak Run established clubs, groups and organizations have been scheduled.

Procedure:
Requests for use of a facility are made on the Room Request form, provided by the Scheduler.
Facilities are scheduled for ORHA Board meetings and ORHA/Ambassador events prior to other requests.

Priority shall then be given to annual requests for same room assignments as in the prior year, first to Standing Committees, and thereafter to other clubs, committees and activities, but not for more than the prior year's approved assignments. Room Requests may be submitted at any time after May first and before October first for the following year.

Failure to submit annual requests for facilities could result in the facility being scheduled for other users.

A special room request by a private party or by a club that would preempt another group may be approved by the Scheduler only if the group being preempted agrees to give up their meeting or activity.

Note - The time period requested shall include; setup, actual function and cleanup. This requested time must be adhered to in order to respect the requested time of others.

NOTE: Scheduling Facilities Policy and Procedures are subject to revision. Events scheduled before the revision are subject to the rules in effect at the time of their event. 

BULLETIN BOARDS
(revised 6-18-13)
Policy:
The purpose of this policy is to provide Oak Run Homeowners Association, residents, clubs and neighborhoods a venue to advertise to other residents. The ORHA Board will coordinate the use of the Bulletin Boards at the Orchid Club, the Island Club, the Aquatic Club and the Palm Grove Auditorium.

Procedure:
Wall hanging Bulletin Boards in the Orchid Club Lobby;
The Ambassadors will have use of one wall-hung bulletin board to publicize their events.
Oak Run Travel will have use of one wall-hung board to publicize their travels/trips.
No other activity may use the wall-hung boards.

Movable Bulletin Boards;
One side of this bulletin board will be used by Oak Run residents to advertise their personal items they wish to give away or sell by using a 3”x5” card. They may also advertise a lost pet. No other advertising will be allowed.

Items will be listed for 2 weeks only, except by special permission of the ORHA Board.

The bulletin board volunteer will provide the 3”x5” cards that are located in the wooden cabinet in the Card Room.

The 3”x5” cards are to be completed on the front with the information to be displayed. The back of the card is to include the signature along with the printed name, the phone number and address of the requester. The signed 3”x5” card can then be placed in the locked box available in the wooden cabinet in the Card Room. One 3”x5” picture may be attached to the advertising card. If all the information is not provided as requested above, the card will not be placed on the bulletin board. If you use your own cards, they must comply with the 3”x5” size requirement. All cards or pictures larger than the 3”x5” size will be altered by the volunteer to the appropriate size. 

When space is limited, postings will be limited to one per household in each 2 week period.

The other side of the Orchid Club Bulletin Board is to be used for ORHA information and Oak Run Club posters. Posters can be no larger than 8-1/2x11” in size. The posting is for a 2-week period. All Club posters will state that the function is for “Members & Guests” only.

No permanent posters are permitted, unless by special permission of the ORHA Board. 

CHANNEL 12
Channel 12 is the DECCA owned local channel and all requests for advertising are submitted to DECCA for approval. A printed form is located in the Orchid Club lobby or you can submit requests via e-mail to:
oakrunchannel12@deccacable.com. 

BUS TRIP PARKING
Scheduling bus transportation into and out of Oak Run for resident trips has been delegated to the ORHA Board by the Developer. This Policy is to assure that there is space for the bus(es) for loading and unloading and that there is adequate parking in the designated areas.

Procedure:
A Bus Schedule Coordinator ( the Bus Scheduler) will be appointed by the ORHA Board to oversee the times and places of trip pickups and drop-offs. Any dispute over scheduling will be referred to the ORHA Board.

All requests for scheduling a bus into or out of Oak Run must be submitted to the Bus Scheduler no less than one month before the planned trip.

To assure availability in the schedule even more lead time is recommended otherwise approval may not be possible due to trips already scheduled. This applies to any bus coming into Oak Run for pickup and return of residents regardless of the group or individual responsible for the trip.

Standing Committees of ORHA will receive first option if a scheduling conflict arises with other organizations wanting to schedule on the same day.

To Whom This Applies:
Every club, organization or individual is required to coordinate with the Bus Scheduler when planning a trip requiring a bus to enter Oak Run.

If a group or individual refuses to follow these policies and continues to bring buses into Oak Run while ignoring these policies, they will be denied use of the parking areas and the only option will be to pickup and drop-off travelers at their homes.  Oak Run Security will instruct bus drivers who arrive and are not on the schedule that they are restricted from using the parking area and that their only option is to pickup and drop-off travelers at their homes.

Where Buses May Load/Unload:
The Orchid Club Overflow Parking Lot will be utilized to the maximum extent possible.

The Palm Grove Parking Lot between the Fitness Center and the Boulevard and directly across the driveway will be utilized only when multiple buses will be in Oak Run at the same time and date. Where possible the use of this area should be between 8:00AM and 8:00PM. The scheduler is allowed to make exceptions if parking lot lighting can be arranged with DECCA (if needed).

The Island Club parking lot may not be used.

Parking of Vehicles:

  INVITED PARTICIPATION BY OUTSIDE GUESTS
Policy:
The recreation facilities in Oak Run are provided for all residents and their bona fide (overnight) guests. As the community has evolved, so has the interest and need placed on Oak Run clubs participating in inter-community activities.

In developing this policy and procedure, emphasis has been placed on maintaining security for the community and keeping the various facilities available to all residents and bona fide guests.

This policy shall apply to any club whose membership is open to participation by all Oak Run residents (non-restrictive). Additionally, only Oak Run residents shall comprise the group hosting the event (for example the Oak Run group may not be comprised of Oak Run and other residents of neighboring communities).

Procedure:
The Oak Run host group must designate a person "host captain" who assumes responsibility for all incoming visiting group members. Should any problem be incurred including those identified below, it is understood that the host group will no longer be afforded the privilege of inter-community activities.

A complete list of visitors must be provided to Security at each gate.

"Special Guest" tags will be issued by security and the designated host captain will be required to return the exact number of tags issued to the visiting guest to Security immediately following the designated event.

No guest is permitted to use any other facility in Oak Run such as; pools, showers, etc.

The visiting guest must be advised to car-pool and be informed where parking is permitted - NO PARKING IS PERMITTED AT THE SALES AND INFORMATION CENTER. The host captain assumes the responsibility of directing them to the designated location. Under no circumstances should any visiting member be wandering around the facilities in search of their destination.

A club may not host a visiting group more than twice in any given month and the number of invited guests should not exceed 15, unless prior written approval has been received from the ORHA Board. 

SUMMARY OF VOTING PROCEDURES
The voting premise is that one owner from each platted lot/home is allowed to cast a ballot. If the owner has ownership of more than one lot/home one ballot may be cast for each. This includes DECCA which owns a number of lots/homes. These multiple ballots may be cast in person for each neighborhood where lots/homes are located or by using absentee ballots. Renters may not vote.

1. The election will take place in the Card Room each January on the same day as the Donut Drop-in. The polls will open at 8 am and close  at 12 noon.

2. There shall be 5 voting tables on which there will be one ballot box for a number of Oak Run neighborhoods. This number will vary from table to  table based on past counts of votes cast in each neighborhood.

3. Tellers will be positioned at the tables to verify that a voter is from the correct neighborhood and hasn't already voted by appearance or absentee and will hand the appropriate neighborhood ballot to the voter. Once the voter has cast his/her ballot it is returned to the ballot box and is  inserted by the voter. Tellers should not be from the neighborhood(s) they are controlling. Verification is accomplished using a computer generated list of current owners by neighborhood. This list is provided by DECCA from current ownership data files.
 
To assure efficiency there shall be no less than one Teller for each 3 neighborhoods but as many as 1 Teller for each 2 neighborhoods. This will be determined by the votes cast in the previous year per neighborhood. The Tellers at each table may help each other depending on the pressure of the number of voters at any given time.

4. Questions raised as to verification of a voter shall be handled by the Head Teller.

5. There shall be 2 Reserve Tellers to replace Tellers as needed.

6. When the polls are closed there shall be 2 Counters who will open the ballot boxes on each table and proceed to tally the votes by neighborhood using the Tally Forms provided.

7. Strict control of the ballots and Tally Sheets will be maintained by transmittal forms at each point in the process.

8. When tallying is completed and the Counters are finished with each neighborhood the completed ballots, unused ballots, and absentee ballots along with the Tally sheet and transmittal form are placed in the large envelops provided and handed to the Head Teller or Election Commissioner.

9. The Election Commissioner, with assistance from the Assistant Commissioner, will verify that all envelope's contents are valid by checking the transmittal forms with the other contents. Once verified the Tally sheets will be checked for math errors against the transmittal form. The vote counts from the tally sheets will be keyed into a computer spreadsheet which automatically summarizes the total number of votes for Directors and Representatives. The total ballots cast by neighborhood as shown on the spreadsheet is compared against the Tally Sheets for each neighborhood. If verified the Election is certified by the Election Commissioner.

NEW RESIDENT WELCOME PACKET
(added 9-10-21)
Policy:
The New Resident Welcome Packet Committee is tasked with insuring that new residents to Oak Run receive the ORHA Board of Directors Welcome Packet. The Welcome Packet is an integral part of providing new residents with information regarding life in Oak Run. The ORHA Board of Directors is responsible for the content and layout of the Welcome Packets. The Welcome Packet Committee is responsible for printing, binding the booklets together, adding certain pertinent information to the booklets, and distributing them to the appropriate Neighborhood Reps. The Neighborhood Reps are responsible for delivering the booklets to the new residents.

Procedure:

ORHA Board of Directors responsibility;

The ORHA Board of Directors are responsible for ensuring the contents of the Welcome Packets are accurate, clear, concise, and laid out in an organized, appealing manner. The contents should be general, with no specific references to names and phone numbers if possible. This will reduce the number of updates required as volunteers change and preserve the accuracy of the information contained therein. The document should direct residents where to find the most current information.

All changes or updates to the Welcome Packets are to be approved by the ORHA President and/or their designee. Reminder, the ORHA Board of Directors are responsible for the accuracy of the content and the appearance of the pamphlet. Both should reflect a quality befitting a document generated by the Board of Directors.

Welcome Packet Committee responsibility;

The Committee Chairperson recruits adequate volunteers to accomplish the goals of the committee. The Chair sees there is an adequate supply of packets. The packets can be printed on the ORHA copier in the library. It is recommended that a limited supply of copies be kept, thus allowing new copies to be made if there is an update, while limiting the amount of waste.

Once the copies are made, the booklets are “bound” together using the binding machine. An adequate supply of binding combs can be purchased through office supply stores.

Approximately the first 10 days of each month, ORA, Ltd will distribute a list of Home Resales for the previous month. This is the list used to identify new residents.

Members of the Welcome Packet Committee prepare the booklets for distribution to the Neighborhood Reps. They fill out the front cover with the new resident’s name, address, neighborhood, and certificate number. On page 3, the neighborhood rep’s name and contact info is entered. Page 4 the date and time of the next New Resident Orientation is added. Pages 8, 9, and 10 also require name, certificate number, and neighborhood to be written in. (Note: The certificate number is a coded number assigned by the Welcome Packet committee.)

Once these items are written in, the committee member then distributes the completed welcome packet to the neighborhood rep.

Neighborhood Rep responsibility;

Once received, the neighborhood rep will take the welcome packet to the new resident. If the resident has not moved in yet, or is a snowbird, the rep will hold onto the packet until the resident has moved in.

The rep should also point out the date of the next New Resident Orientation and the rep’s contact info.
