Problems

I will do my best to answer your questions... with my opinion/experience.

#1 When the Board presedident and Board violate the CC&R's, what is the solution to make the matter right. education first (maybe they don't know the rules as well as they should), then letters/public information, then potential lawsuit, or elections.

#2Who can send me a copy of a legal proxie and instructions how to handle these proxies to keep it legal. Not I, arizona doesn't allow them anymore. However, almost any piece of paper signed by an owner can be used to give their proxy to someone else.. kind of like a will. there are forms, but almost anything can work.

#3. Can Robert's rules of order be enforced? How? Enforced? no. Robert's rules are not statutes and have no legal standing. they are simply a code of conduct that SOME people agree to use in running a meeting. that's all. they have as much legal effect as Calvin's rules for Calvin ball.

#4 If a Board will not allow homeowners to attend (teleconferences)board meetings, how can you make them. education. remind them of the by-laws, which probably state that meetings MUST be open, unless specifically closed for certain types of business. then, public information, lawsuits, and elections.

%5 I know you can't make a motion, can you speak for some alloted time on a subject concerning Associations business. All depends on if you are on the agenda, and if the board follows that agenda, etc..

Are their legal rules about Homeowner Regular Board Meetings? State laws? Yes, some. But your by-laws are the best source of details on how your board should be doing business.

Does what it deemed to be illegal actions by the Board does this mean the meeting is void. not necessarily.

Robert, in answer to your questions:
1 Remove them from the Board in accordance with your By-laws.
2 Attached is an example.
3. Yes, if your By-laws call for using Roberts rules of order. You can appoint a parlimentarian and when the chair fails to follow Roberts rules of order any member can call for "a point of order".
4. First do your By-laws allow for Board meetings by teleconference? If they do then it should only be for voting on important emergency items and therefore members would not be advised.
5. In Colorado the Common Interest Ownership Act requires members be provided an opportunity to speak.

Changing Board members does not guarantee there will not be owners who are dissatisfied in the future. The explaination to owners for removing the current Board members will be discussed before and at the meeting where at vote is taken for removal.

To Rodger and to Brian.

My thanks to you both. Makes our group more comfortable in trying to change things the right way
