blakie Posted October 14, 2010 at 01:49 PM Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 at 01:49 PM Looking for some advice. Home owners association includes home owners and lot owners as members. If non-paying members have their voting rights removed do they count as part of a quorum for an Annual General Meeting or an Amendment to the By-Laws Quorum? i.e. can the quorum be affected / reduced by them as they are non eligible to vote?

Your rules may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Dunn Posted November 19, 2013 at 11:29 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 at 11:29 PM The Homeowners Association held a membership meeting to vote for ratification on the proposed budget for the following year. There was a quorum composed of the members present and by proxy. The vote was 161 for and 194 against ratification . The Board of Directors declared that the proposed budget WAS ratified because in their opinion there was not a enough negative votes by the "majority" of the entire membership, rather than those whom actually voted. Does their decision comply with the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)? Our opinion is only the votes of the members present and by proxy should be considered for ratification purposes. Our by-laws state a quorum of our members is 10%, we have close to 2000 members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
