DOES PRESIDENT VOTE IN ALL CONDO BOD MEETINGS

Unless its noted in your bylaws or other documents as otherwise, the president is a fully active member of the board and can make motions and vote.

In smaller boards, under 12 persons, this is the general rule.

For ties, just keep on voting, until there is a ruling, amendment or the motion is withdrawn. During the discussion time, that's the time to make or break your case for any motion. The motion dies, if there is a deadlock, but can be brought back at any time.

Linda,

I doubt you'll find a state law addressing this and I also doubt it's addressed in your bylaws. Therefore, IMO, the Pres should vote just the same as the other members of the board. To say he/she will only vote to break a tie is just a copy-out.

Hi Linda,
As has been noted in this thread... the president of a board of less than 12-13 directors does have voting powers per Roberts' Rules of Order.

Additionally, per Florida statutes:

718.111 The association.
-
(1) CORPORATE ENTITY.-

(b) A director of the association who is present at a meeting of its board at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless he or she votes against such action or abstains from voting. A director of the association who abstains from voting on any action taken on any corporate matter shall be presumed to have taken no position with regard to the action. Directors may not vote by proxy or by secret ballot at board meetings, except that officers may be elected by secret ballot. A vote or abstention for each member present shall be recorded in the minutes.

HTH,
Ann
