no quorum

[Texas cityslicker]

Lacking enough board members to constitute a quorum, a board meeting was recently held anyway and previous months minutes approved as well as approval of other items. All was done upon the recommendation of a board member who said there was a way to record minutes as official even though not a quorum present.

I've never heard of such, would someone clarify.

Clarification: You never heard of it, because he made it up, as I think you realize.

The board member was wrong, at least as far as RONR is concerned. Ask him to show you the rule that supports his claim.

thank you for the reply.Since the board meeting was not properly held, I assume the next meeting would be a repeat if a quorum is present.

The board meeting was properly held (presumably). It's just that, without a quorum, it couldn't do what it pretended to do (e.g. approve minutes).

And note that, since it was a legitimate meeting, minutes (albeit brief) should be prepared and approved for the inquorate meeting as well.
