Guest MTAYLOR Posted August 4, 2014 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 at 04:47 PM Last August 2013 I volunteered to take over as Treasurer/Secretary due to the previous person moved out of the subdivision. The President & V President and myself did not get along very well so I saw no need to run for re-election in April 2014. The Board is to be rules by Robert's Rules of Order. The President resigned in Feb 2014 because he didn't like that for once the VP & I agreed on something. Then when it was time for nominations for the annual election; the previous resigned President put his name on the ballot along with the Present President(former VP). So all we had on the ballot were these two people. Our by laws state "the affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of not less than three Directors". We attempted to have two election and both time we did not have a quorum (in person and with proxies). By Robert's Rules do we really have a homeowners association board? Can the HOA be dissolved since we really do not have a complete board? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst, the board wouldn't be able to achieve a quorum until some of the vacancies are filled (which, of course, they should be as soon as possible). It's also very unlikely that vacancies on the board would (or should!) result in the dissolution of the association. That's much more likely to be a legal action than a parliamentary one.

We have asked homeowners with a mailing - if anyone interested in being the Sec/Treasurer to submit their name - gave them like 5 weeks - nothing............if homeowners are not interested in the HOA - would a petition start the legal portion? Meaning if there are 67 homeowners that sign a petiton to dissolve the HOA; would that get the ball rolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted August 4, 2014 at 05:56 PM Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 at 05:56 PM Dissolving an HOA simply because you've gone a few months with vacancies on the board seems pretty extreme. But you may need the services of an attorney more than a parliamentarian. More serious, I think, than vacancies on the board are vacancies in the offices of secretary and treasurer. On the other hand, the mere threat of dissolving the HOA may indeed "get the ball rolling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
