Yes, I think the member is simply saying that he no longer wants the job. 

"If nominated, I will no run.  If elected, I will not serve."

Even at a meeting, I would take it that a person could be nominated against his wishes.  It think it is clear that, with write ins, someone can be elected with his consent.  This would assume that the bylaws do not require a person to consent to be nominated, and does not make a nomination a condition of eligibility for elections.

It is desirable policy for the nominating committee, before making its report, to contact each person whom it wishes to nominate, in order to obtain his acceptance of nomination—that is, his assurance that he will serve in the specified office if elected. The bylaws can make such a practice mandatory.

It's only common sense to ask a person before nominating him/her. Just too bad some organizations have to put it into the By-laws.
