I am on a board of 5 and we are in the middle of a CC&R rewrite. It has been a little bit of a battle because some people do not understand or have not taken the time to read the new CC&Rs. In a least a few of the cases people are not happy that we are putting a rental restriction of 25%( We are a 400+ single family HOA ) we currently have only about 16% rentals. Some feel that this may restrict them from renting even though the doc clearly states that everyone will be grand fathered in at the time the docs is put in place.
My problem is not with them not understanding the CC&Rs but that our Board is trying to get more than the 220 votes needed to reach quorum. They want to get 270 votes so that the no votes will not stop the CC&Rs from passing. I think this is trying to control the election and I do not believe it is legal.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening before and can the board get away with this? We are very close to quorum and I do not want to see us do anything that is illegal. We have a couple of members that make the rules as they go.
Thanks in advance.
