Guest Tim Posted October 9, 2012 at 02:59 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 02:59 PM in the park where i am i was to rent a building,the board handed me an agreement. to cover the building ins. wise i needed the wording to be changed or amendid! i told the board what i needed. i was told i could start moving stuff in and i could get rid of what was ever in the building. ok i did this now in the mean time new members are elected to the board and now im told im not getting the agreement!all this is being told to me by a paid mataince man. NOT a board member. this was all voted on by previous board and agreed to. after hearing all this i went to the 1st new board meeting with these members. im told the new board voted on it and said no. i asked why and they said complaints but wouldnt say what or by who. they said cause i have sings on my truck it was a comercial business(signs are no different then bumper stickers) i have no clients going in or out and i just come in and out with and for what i need. i ve spoken to board members and they say they know nothing about it its on a select few that do. what can i do they say i have 30 days to get out of the building but as far as i understand i have an APPLIED contract with the old board.send replies tosanaty@comcast.netnoone has seen a true board meating on this matter to date just 3 or 4 members trying to control the board. how can i get time to atleast find another space if there isnt an applied agreement/contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edgar Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:06 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:06 PM . . . what can i do they say i have 30 days to get out of the building but as far as i understand i have an APPLIED contract with the old board.I believe you mean to say you have an implied contract. In any case, you may need a lawyer, not a parliamentarian. In other words, you won't find your answers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:08 PM As far as the rules in RONR are concerned (rules of parliamentary procedure) there is no distinction between 'old board' and 'new board' -- a motion adopted by the board can be amended or rescinded by the board (regardless of 'old' or 'new' members on the board), but only to the extent that the motion has not been fully executed.If there is actually a contract involved, you should speak to an attorney (a contract would be an indication that the motion has been executed).However, if you were simply moving into the space based on someone's promise of a future contract, and without an agreement actually in place (?) the situation looks much murkier. Legal advice may still be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trina Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:43 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:43 PM I still think you need an attorney. Hopefully you kept a copy of the tentative contract that was handed to you...Your predicament doesn't appear to lie in the realm of parliamentary procedure (furthermore, as you aren't a member of the board, you can't yourself try to apply any tools of parliamentary procedure at the upcoming board meeting).in the park where i am i was to rent a building...Are you a member of a larger organization (the 'park'), whose board is making these decisions about the rental of the building?

JohnR Posted October 9, 2012 at 04:06 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 04:06 PM You are asking about enforcement of a contract. This is a question of law, not procedure. Please ask an attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMargaret Posted October 9, 2012 at 04:57 PM Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 at 04:57 PM Roberts Rules of Order has nothing to say about the commercial useage of a church or park summer home-owned building.There is no Robert's Law. Ask them what section dis-allows it.There may be applicable law in your location, or the bylaws of whatever association it is (church or park summer homes). We don't know, but an attorney in your area would be better able to assist you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted October 10, 2012 at 01:59 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 at 01:59 AM what is the right way or how should this be handled. like i said i had an implied contract.As several people have pointed out, the right way to handle this is a legal question, not a parliamentary question. You need to consult an attorney. The people who are claiming this is contained in Roberts Rules are simply wrong. Hand them a copy and ask them to point to the page where it says what they claim it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
