Definition of "call a meeting"

Our by-laws state that upon a petition request to the president for a special meeting, signed by 1/4 of homeowners, the president shall "call a meeting".

There is disagreement of who actually schedules the meeting. Our president is not a board member, only an officer. The community thinks that he should be able to schedule the meeting, given that he gives the Board members 5 days notice (in the by-laws too). The board is stating that it is their job to schedule the meeting.

So what does "call a meeting"? Is it to schedule or request it be scheduled?

Thanks!

The president isn't a board member - how, pray, did he wind up as an officer???? Usually, the homeowners elect the board and the board chooses officers from among themselves - check your documents. Regarding your question, I would think the board AND the board officers (including the president) would simply get together, set a date and send out a notice. I don't know why people are fussing over THIS - they're making a mountain out of an ant hill, not even a mole hill. No wonder some HOAs are in chaos.

If the homeowners have presented a petition for a special meeting on whatever, get the board and president together, tell them to stop bickering schedule the damned thing, and then give the homeowners advance notice. For a special meeting, I would think a 5 day notice is too short, so check your documents again to see how far in advance the notice must be given. If the documents don't say anything, I'd send out a notice at least two weeks in advance. This is a special meeting, so you'll have to say what the meeting's about.

So, a little more background is probably necessary.

Our Board is 3 slots. 2 of them are occupied by a married couple. The other is vacant because the two sitting members found a way to invalidate the 3rd's appointment to the Board.

The petition is specifically for the removal of these married board members (for many, many reasons). We want the President to schedule the meeting because it says the president calls the meeting in our by-laws. More than that, though, we believe it is a serious conflict of interest to allow the board members we are trying to remove to have control over the date, time, and location of the meeting to vote to remove them.

I am asking for what "call a meeting" means in legal terms. I was giving more context as to why I am asking on here and why it matters to my community.

If you have a reference for the legal definition, then great! Send it my way.

Your bylaws should have reference in them about how many days notice is needed for a SPECIAL MEETING of the MEMBERS. You have the qualified petition, the meeting must be scheduled within that time period.

The purpose/reason for the meeting MUST be in the stated petition and agenda. The vote to remove this board and the election of the new board is the only topic that can be discussed at this particular meeting.

Make sure you meet the quorum, take the vote properly, and install the new board which will meet immediately after the "election.'

Since this is NOT a Board Meeting, WHO will lead this meeting is going to be a sticky situation, since the removal of the President is the vote subject. The MEMBERS can vote to appoint someone to lead the meeting at the very beginning.(Motion and vote)

All this is pretty boilerplate. Your state's non profit corporation laws might cover this, if your own bylaws don't.

The most power is in the Member's vote! It's not to be messed with.

Ask an attorney if you wish legal definition(s) or legal advice.

however:

Typically either the president or a majority vote of the board (or both) can call a special meeting. You need to give proper notice to members and, of course, you need a quorum to do business. The procedure should be spelled out in your bylaws.

Said bylaws having, presumably, been read, reread, and UNDERSTOOD by the questioner.

I believe that the question was when the MEMBERS call a Special Meeting - whose responsibility is it to schedule it?

That timetable should be in the bylaws.

The members can NOT call a special meeting. PERIOD

The bylaws and/or corporate law address the requirements for a PETITION for a special meeting by the membership.

It may then, in actuality, require legal action to FORCE the BOD and/or President to actually call the said meeting.

However, the OP is free to act upon the random babblings of us internet experts INSTEAD of reading and researching the actual bylaws and corporate law involved.

It is, to the extent that I have explained.

By-laws 4.04 Special Meetings: It shall be the duty of the President of the Assoc. to call a special meeting of the members as directed by resolution of the board of directors OR upon receipt of a written request of members entitled to vote at least 1/4th of all the votes. ...held within 45 days after receipt by the president of petition

**Petition submitted on July 19th, with 25% of the communities signatures (as necessary according to our community's by-laws).
- "It shall be the duty of the president to call a special meeting..." - what does this mean? Our president is not a board member.
- Meeting must be held within 45 days of receipt. - Tracking this.

By-laws5.09 "Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by the president upon 5 days notice to each director..." - Does this apply since we are asking for a membership meeting?

A better attempt to answer the OP's specific question:

The following is from Arizona, however, it most likely is 'typical' ;

“A. Except as provided in section 10-2703, a corporation shall hold a special meeting of shareholders either:

1. On the call of its board of directors or the person or persons authorized to do so by the articles of incorporation or bylaws.

2. As provided in section 10-810, subsection D.

B. If not otherwise fixed under section 10-703 or 10-707, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting is the date the first shareholder signs the demand.

C. Special shareholders' meetings may be held in or out of this state at the place stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws. If no place is stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws, special meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office.

D. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice required by section 10-705, subsection C may be conducted at a special shareholders' meeting”. [A.R.S. § 10-702]

Still not clear to me, Beth: the married couple are the two directors the members (Homeowners) wish to recall.

The present is not a director, so is not a par t of the couple, correct?

Tell us, Beth: Do your bylaws say the president does not have to be a director?? It's not unusual for bylaws to say that other officers, e.g., sec'y and/or treasurer, but the president?? VP??

Call a meeting in any organization where I've worked i or in my HOA always has met to announce it and when it will be. (I'm not in any legal field) To say, "I'm calling a meeting," without specifying the agenda item(s) and date/time doesn't make sense.

Your bylaws or TX law as others noted will say how much notice must be given for a meeting of the members. I, too, suspect it's well more than 5 days! Luckily we have some knowledgeable TX posters whom we can hope will chime in.

Beth,

The special meeting called by the members would be a general membership meeting, not a board meeting.

There are likely notice requirements that have to be done along with scheduling of a meeting place, etc.

Officers work at the discretion of the Board. If you believe that the President has acted outside of their position, make a motion to remove them and appoint a new President (perhaps you).

It is the President's responsibility to call the special meeting.

EITHER

The BOD can resolve to direct him to call the meeting

OR

The written request (petition) of 25% of the membership can direct him to call the meeting.

Said meeting to be held within 45 day of 'receipt' of the petition.

The key word in your quoted bylaws is "or".

Since your bylaws are 'crystal clear' on this issue, what is your intent by this 'posting of questions' ?

How to actually enforce your bylaws ?

Like I said before, y'all may need an attorney !

Side note: Check your bylaws. Often the President must be a Director.
This isn't always the case, so you need to check your documents.

Regardless of what you find, someone has to be willing to step up and serve as President if the Board wants to remove this person.

Typically a Special Meeting must define the nature/subject of the meeting, such as to recall So and So BOD Member and replacing them with Him or Her. Even then the recall must follow the Bylaws.

It cannot be a general bytiching/inquistion meeting.

Right. Except our board tyrant told the president that “call a meeting” meant “request a meeting” and that only board members could schedule a meeting.

After much research and questions and a lot of badgering on my part, I’ve now been told the President must be a board member, and since ours isn’t, he can’t “call the meeting”.

More research to do.

Beth, don't your bylaws say the prez must be a director?

So... will the two bad directors refuse to appoint one of them as president and thereby get out of calling the Members meeting??

Does TX Corps HOA codes help you at all? I guess there's a difference there between condos and detached homes?

No, our by-laws do not state this. It talks in one sentence about Officer and associate Officers. The very next sentence says “such officers need not be board members.”

Our board and management company are saying that this was only referring to associate officers and that the prez “has to be” a BOD because a non-BOD has no power.

Seems the Pres. calls the meeting upon EITHER a BOD resolution OR a member petition BUT the Pres. calls the meeting either way !

HOWEVER, in the OP's situation, the Pres. is evidently NOT a director as required by the bylaws .... W/T/F, over

Perhaps a legal opinion or action will be necessary.

So, a little more background is probably necessary.

Our Board is 3 slots. 2 of them are occupied by a married couple. The other is vacant because the two sitting members found a way to invalidate the 3rd's appointment to the Board.

The petition is specifically for the removal of these married board members (for many, many reasons). We want the President to schedule the meeting because it says the president calls the meeting in our by-laws. More than that, though, we believe it is a serious conflict of interest to allow the board members we are trying to remove to have control over the date, time, and location of the meeting to vote to remove them.

What % do you need to remove and replace?

We need an affirmative vote for removal. I think this just means majority...?

Replacement will be be nomination and regular vote directly following.

But it says “At any annual or a special meeting of the association duly called, Any one or more of the directors may be removed with or without cause By the affirmative vote of the majority of members of each class entitled to vote who are present At a meeting at which a quorum is present.”

I think it means: Unless state law overrides by-laws, then the vote of the majority of the people present (in person or by proxy) is the outcome and can be fully and legally implemented.

Thoughts?

If you have 100 Members and Quorum is 10%, and 10 people show up either in person or by proxy, then only 6 votes are needed to remove.

The numbers only change by the number of Members and the percentage of Quorum.

So, Beth, what % of members need to be present by proxy or in person to be enough for a quorum? Do your bylaws or some other HOA doc say? If not, then state law prevails.

I just looked again, maybe not carefully enough, and do not see that Beth has told us if any of her HOA's docs say the percent needed for quorum.

"Sec. 22.159. QUORUM OF MEMBERS. (a) UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED by the certificate of formation or bylaws of a corporation, members of the corporation holding one-tenth of the votes entitled to be cast, in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum. "
