Hi, we currently have a four-person BOD and I will be chairing a meeting tomorrow and expect three directors to show up which will establish the quorum. One of the directors has a number of lawn maintenance violations which will have to be addressed along with what actions will be taken according to the declaration if the property is not brought into compliance. I am assuming this is not going to go well as the member tends to get rather emotional as if her and her husband are being singled out and the declaration is unreasonable. The truth is their property is the only property with obvious lawn maintenance violations. To make matters worse, I had to go door-to-door in our small community and threaten receivership in order to get some cooperation and at least three board members to satisfy the governing documents and Florida statute 617.0803 since we are incorporated and must never have less than a three-person board.
So what happens if three directors show up, quorum is established, and director X suddenly decides to quit or walk out? Would the meeting be suddenly adjourned and the decisions made prior to that be valid? I plan on starting the meeting by thanking each and every director for their time and effort to satisfy Florida statutes and the governing documents and helping me (president) by assuming the roles of officers. I also plan on stressing how she may wish to remain a director so she can have a say so in helping to create a rule for parking, as authorized in the declaration, which they are also in violation of. Further, by not openly and consistently enforcing the declaration, it violates the rights of others who expect the standards to be maintained.
The declaration has not been enforced for years because of a lack of involvement. Now we have involvement and wish to make positive changes rather than let the standards continued to slide.
Thanks!
