I believe you are correct in this situation. However, now there is another situation that I need help with. There has been a question raised regarding the proxy ballets; the bylaws require that a the proxy ballet include a date line to be completed from the voter, along with name, address and signature. All ballets, both proxy and meeting ballets did not provide a date line for voter. In addition, the proxy ballets should have been turn into the Secretary, and they were not. Does that mean the entire vote (all voters) be disqualified due to the proxy ballets and regular that are invalid? How would this type situation be handled? Would the proxy ballets be voted invalid by the Board of Directors, through a motion from the Secretary, second and a vote? Does this situation need to go before the members with a motion, second and vote? This was a special meeting for the sole purposes of voting on a security gate, and all associated expenses. Next, can we set-up a polling date and time for this is we need to vote again? Or, do we have to have a full blown second special meeting ? We appreciate any help we can get on this issue. What a mess we have right now.
