Welcome to Harbor Village Manistee Beach

Harbor Village at Manistee Beach Association (HVMBA aka - the 'Master Association') is a statutory association incorporated in the State of Michigan as non-profit.  For income tax purposes, the Association qualifies as a tax-exempt entity under Section 528 of the IRC. The Master Association is responsible for the administration, operations, management and maintenance of the shared common property located within Harbor Village at Manistee Beach, Manistee, Michigan. 

HVMBA has a membership consisting of twelve (12) individual condominium associations located within Harbor Village at Manistee Beach. The current HVMBA bylaws have a voting structure whereas an association delegate on the board has a weighted vote for a motion based on number of co-owners within their respective association.  The exception to this is for bylaw amendments, where a straight-line vote of 66 2/3% majority is needed to pass a motion.

Each condominium association (normally at their annual meeting) elects a board of directors, generally 2 - 4 co-owners. The President of each board becomes the representative on the Master Association Board.  That representative may choose a delegate to represent them on the board.  Additionally, it is expected that that board member poll it's respective co-owners for major decisions before casting a vote. 

The Master Board (at the annual meeting) then elects 3 or 4 four officers who become the Executive Committee. This committee is responsible for scheduling meetings, establishing an annual budget, and serving as the general liaison with the Master’s Association Manager (PM) for day-to-day operations, and in case of an emergency.
