The Kentlands Citizens Assembly Board of Trustees is the primary decision-making body of the Assembly [the Home Owners' Association].

The Board is responsible for defending and ensuring the continuing integrity and operation of community and advancing the missions and goals of Kentlands as set forth in the Preamble of this Community Charter. The Board is also charged with providing material and moral support for other Community-based organizations formed for the express purpose of providing for the social and cultural enrichment of the Community.

The Board is required to enact legislative provisions appropriate to carrying out its responsibilities. These include provisions establishing rules of conduct for the use, maintenance, and appearance of property in accordance with the Founding Documents and public law. The Board also provides oversight of the administration of the affairs of the Assembly and advice and consent to actions of the President, takes actions on Titleholder's applications for proposed changes in use of property, issues permits for non-conforming uses of real property, establishes rules of procedure consistent with due process and individual rights for the manner in which cases of alleged violations of the Governing documents are processed, and serves as the final appeal authority for decisions of the Board of Code Compliance and the Kentlands Historical Trust.

The Board, as the Assembly's legislative body, may amend the Bylaws and enact Equity and Administrative Resolutions according to the procedures in the Governing Documents. The Board also adopts a budget, levies and collects assessments, appropriates funds, enacts General Resolutions and other motions and resolutions, and takes other actions as necessary in accordance with the powers enumerated in the Governing Documents.
