I am in my last year of a two year term in my Florida HOA. (186 single family houses)
At the first board meeting after our annual elections, the meeting was called to order. Some business was conducted and then elections of officers were next on the agenda. Our board has seven directors. One was unable to attend. Nominations were entertained via a motion and a second. The President, Vice President, and Secretary positions each had only one nomination and were deemed to have been elected. The Treasurer's position had two nominations and a secret write in ballot was utilized. The votes were tallied and recorded. The President upon seeing the results of the election (not to his liking) asked if the missing director could be called to offer his vote. The President had selected not to vote in any decision unless to break a tie and he did not vote in this election.
The vote was 3 to 2 with one absent director. After a long and profound debate about a legal quorum, a legitimate voting proceeding, and the outcome being recorded, the President declared the meeting adjourned. He then decided to vote and tie the vote to 3 to 3. He then declared the meeting a "non meeting".
Unfortunately for him, I have the entire meeting on tape.
What should I do now?
And yes, I was the one that was seemed to have been elected by the 3 to 2 vote.
