NSPOAEC

Our association is like a HOA or POA. We have monthly board meetings and Monthly membership meetings on the same day of the month. The board meetings in the morning followed by the association membership meeting in the afternoon. The members are allowed to attend the board meetings. Then the board attends and conducts the membership meetings in the afternoon as well. I know it is not a conventional practice. Our bylaws do state that this is how board and membership meetings are to be conducted and always has been past practice since our association was established. We are a privately owned campground where each member owns their own lots and pays monthly Maintenace fees to maintain the campground and the facilities. Our association manages itself. I am new to the board and trying to understand what is allowed and not allowed when it comes to types of motions that can be made such as in the case I stated above where a member made a motion that the association reimburse back the fine issued for violation of our governing documents.

Our association (HOA/POA) has monthly membership meetings that the board of directors are in charge of conducting. My Question regarding do all motions have to be brought to the floor regardless of the nature such as making a motion to cease all collections of maintenance fees, to reverse maintenance increases, to make a motion to have the association pay back late fees assessed on delinquent dues to our members. Those types of motions, how should the board respond to that?

Do all motions require the Board of the association take to the floor at an association meeting for a second, debate, and vote? For an example, we had a member that was fined and the member paid the fine. However, at the membership meeting, under new business, a member made a motion to return the member that was fined their money. The motion was seconded, and it carried with majority. Our governing documents have given the right to the board to fine members in violations. Can these fines be reversed by a motion? Do all motions have to be brought to the floor regardless of the nature of the motion?
