Can residents remove a HOA board member?

Hello.
A board member has placed our community in a dangerous situation. One of our community streets which was a "dead end" , had a gate at its end, which was removed due to damage, and has not been replaced for over 5 months, due to inaction of replacement by a board member who is in charge of our streets. Since then, there have been several accidents, and vandalism of properties and cars. there is now traffic entering through this now open area which leads to a busy road. . Can residents vote , or petition to have this person removed from the board, or can the other Board Members be the only ones to have him removed? Rresidents want to file a class action suit against the board, and the management company for their inaction.

One BOD Member cannot hold up the entire BOD. The delay is with the BOD, not the one member. Spend your time and effort on this.

Thanks for the prompt, concise responses.

In Florida, the statute overrides what is in the governing docs. For example, our 1970s vintage bylaws require a 2/3 majority. This is overridden by the 2018 statute.
