Board Synergy Club
A practical routing guide

Who manages what?

Three organizations serve Century Village West Palm Beach. Start with the one closest to the issue, then check the documents when a property line, contract, cost, or approval is in doubt.

Find the right contactWhen the answer depends

Good Governance Starts with Informed Leaders.

The three roles at a glance

This is a first-contact guide. The legal responsibility for a specific item can depend on the recorded declaration, other governing documents, and the contracts that cover that place or service.

Your condominium

Association

The elected board governs its own condominium and directs its manager and vendors.

  • Its buildings and condominium property, subject to the declaration’s maintenance assignments.
  • Its budget, assessments, reserves, insurance, records, meetings, and elections.
  • Its rules and decisions on purchase, rental, and occupancy applications before submission to UCO.

A manager may carry out work, but the association remains responsible for the property and decisions assigned to it. Sources 2–3

Village-wide interests

UCO

United Civic Organization coordinates the common interests and services identified in its bylaws and agreements.

  • Bus, cable coordination, roads, and common landscaping in its village-wide scope.
  • Vehicle barcodes and gate passes.
  • Investigations and certificates of approval after association board signatures; delegate representation and the UCO Reporter.

Contact UCO for its current process and the exact scope of a road, landscape area, or service. Source 1

Recreation

WPRF, Inc.

WPRF manages the recreation side of village life.

  • Recreational facilities, including pools and the clubhouse.
  • Classes, theater programs, and recreation questions.
  • Century Village resident ID cards.

For current recreation or ID procedures, contact the Main Clubhouse at 561-640-3120. Source 1

Where should I start?

Search by issue or choose a group. The suggested contact can help route the question; it does not settle ownership or financial responsibility.

When an issue crosses boundaries

  1. Locate it. Record the building, parcel, road, or facility and take photos when appropriate.
  2. Check authority. Read the recorded declaration, rules, UCO documents and agreements, or recreation contract that applies.
  3. Contact the operator. Ask the association, UCO, or WPRF for its written view and the relevant document provision.
  4. Escalate the decision. For disputed duty, cost, safety, or coverage, involve qualified counsel or other professionals before the board commits funds.

For immediate danger, call 911. For active water or structural damage, also use the affected building’s emergency management contact.

A few common questions

Is a resident ID the same thing as a car barcode?

No. WPRF manages resident ID cards; UCO handles vehicle barcodes and gate passes. The documents required for each process may differ. Source 1

Who signs a buyer’s or renter’s application?

Start with the condominium association. UCO says completed purchase, rental, and occupancy applications need association board signatures before UCO will accept them. Ask the association and UCO for their current forms and requirements. Source 1

Who handles a sidewalk or tree near our building?

Location alone may not decide it. Ask the association and UCO to identify the property and applicable maintenance agreement; if responsibility or cost is contested, have the board review the documents and obtain professional advice. Sources 2–3

Does UCO replace my association board?

No. Your association board continues to govern its condominium. UCO coordinates the village-wide matters described in its documents; WPRF handles recreation. One issue may require coordination among them. See sources

A handoff needs an owner and a next step

Board Synergy recommended practice Give each shared issue one association contact. Record the location or unit, the concern, the organization contacted, the response, the next action, and a follow-up date. If another organization is responsible, ask for the correct desk and confirm that the receiving contact has the information needed.

SituationPractical handoffKeep distinct
New purchaser or renterAssociation application and authorized signatures → UCO investigation/COA processing and association decision documentation as applicable → WPRF ID → appropriate access arrangements. Follow the linked occupancy guide for the actual sequence.COA means Certificate of Approval. An ID, barcode, or gate entry does not independently establish association approval.
Work near a property boundaryIdentify the location and controlling declaration or agreement; ask the relevant operator to confirm its scope in writing.The first contact does not determine ownership, who pays, or permission to alter property.
Unresolved service requestSend the prior reference number, facts, requested action, and reasonable follow-up date to the appropriate supervisor or office.A service complaint is different from a legal demand or urgent safety report.

Urgent danger: call 911. Use the association’s emergency management contact for active building damage; routine correspondence is not an emergency response system.
