This site has served me so well in the past & now I am back for some ideas. I recently resigned a position of Sec/Treas of my HOA along with another director. In order to simplify the process of appointing two replacements, with the direction of the PM, we were told that these appointments could be done via email under the Unanimous Written Consent statute. There is a 1 yr term remaining on these appointments I live in AZ. These appointments are now being challenged by 3 newly elected "self nominated" candidates that are going to have 2 yr terms. Our nominating committee could not find any candidates of their liking to run for the 3 new positions. Just prior to the election, 2 very well qualified volunteers came forward and said they wanted to serve, so we appointed them to these vacancies that occurred 6 days prior to the election. All that said, the 3 new BOD are claiming that the appts. were illegal and are threatening to get legal involved if the prior BOD does not give copies of all email communications from Mar1-Mar15 PLUS have told us no to erase anything from our computers involving board business for the past two years. And now there are also personal attacks with name calling. What would be the best direction for the prior BOD to take? This HOA has some serious division in it that seem to be getting uglier with each passing day. Thanks!
