Whose rights?

A group of members are championing a recall. They have placed a 'Recall' table in the entrance lobby of the Recreation Facility. Members who do not support the recall object to being asked if they wish to sign the recall and feel their rights to enjoy the Center are being violated by the recall group. The recall group say the Center belongs to them as members. However it also belongs to members who do not want this kind of upheaval in a place that should be neutral. The recall group have been offered a place in another part of the facility not the lobby and they will not move. What is the recourse of the Board to accommodate everyone's 'rights'?

Political questions never have a clear cut answer. Board has the authority to set guidelines - but doesn't look good when it's done to a rival faction after the fact. Any imposition of authority that involves a challenge to the board is a crap shoot.

Banana fana fe fi fo fana, Johnnie.

It depends on your governing documents, might just be your rules & regs.

My own opinion is that if they're not blocking entrances (fire code issue), keeping others from using that portion of the lobby, or being a noise nuisance, the recall proponents have every right to use the common area.

In Cali, and I don't have time to look it up, all H/Os with a "point of view" to express have the right to use the common areas. This who are opposed have the same right, by the way. Those who disagree should just go about their business, which is not by this table.

I think your board better keep its nose out of this UNLESS there's something in your documents that restrict this kind of activity. If they want to make a rule about it, they should go ahead, but they'd better be very sure such a rule doesn't oppose FL policy.

An "annoyance," Fred of AZ? I suppose for a couple of seconds. But that doesn't rise to the level of "nuisance" as impelled kurt in mo=any CC&Rs.
