slewfoot Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:13 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:13 PM Hi all, to make a long story more to the point, I would like to ask this.Our HOA has not had an election since 2006. Since that time the positions have been filled by appointments from resignations etc. Really cannot fillout a term if it doesn't really exist. i was one of those as a former Pres when i too and entire board quit 3 yrs ago.Now the board is at 2 members. A pres and a secretary, VP quit. Bylaws say we must have 3. Pres has had it and is a good friend and asked me to take it back, once again by appointment.Secretary i doubt will approve because we never got along. She too is in by appointment from a couple years ago. Bylaws say must have 2/3 to approve a vacancy but it does not exist.If i get back in ,my plan is only until March to finallyput a general election in place for all three positions tostart over. How can the pres quit and I take over without 2/3 vote? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMargaret Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:31 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:31 PM I would suggest you get the advice of a professional parliamentarian on this, and perhaps a lawyer.No elections since 2006? Everybody resigns, not finishes their term? Eeep. Do the bylaws call for elections, by the way? Silly question, maybe.Just for the issue at hand, can the current president and secretary agree to appoint another member, one whom they could both agree on? Once that person is in, then they, and the current President, could appoint you as VP, and then the President could resign. HOWEVER - I would strongly advise getting professional advice on this one.

slewfoot Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:35 PM Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:35 PM Yes every March depending on length of term. Pres is 3 yrs, VP and secretary is 2rs. Personally I see no reason why anyone could not simply go in for a hostile takeover inorder to set it up properly again. One problem is not many are interested. The remaining two did put out the word for a new VP but nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slewfoot Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:45 PM Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 09:45 PM Does anyone know of a way when an officer wants to appoint because of his resignation and a majority for approval does not exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g40 Posted September 27, 2012 at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 10:17 PM Why don't you have an election at the next membership meeting of the HOA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted September 27, 2012 at 10:55 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 at 10:55 PM The HOA should hold an election as soon as possible. You do not have to wait for March as this is a duty imposed by your bylaws and it is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
