Guest mug935@aol.com Posted April 30, 2020 at 06:33 PM Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 at 06:33 PM I am a member of a 5 member small board of an HOA. Normally our minutes only record whether or not a motion was adopted, either "unanimously" or X in favor and x opposed. If I want my vote recorded in the minutes on an issue which may place the association at risk of liability, how can I ensure my vote is so recorded. Can I simply say "I request my vote be recorded" or is something else required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may make such a request, but it is at the board's discretion whether to grant it (majority vote if there is disagreement). RONR has no specific rules regarding the recording of a single member's vote, but it is ultimately up to the assembly to determine the content of its minutes. Alternately, you could move that a roll call vote be taken, in which case every member's vote would be recorded, including yours. Unless your rules provide otherwise, this requires a majority vote.

Atul Kapur Posted April 30, 2020 at 08:28 PM Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 at 08:28 PM Because you specify that this is an HOA, I will advise you to check the laws that apply to your HOA. Mr. Martin is correct about RONR, unsurprisingly, but it is common for the law on corporations -- and, perhaps, HOAs -- to say something different.
