condo board resolution of the board

hello.

As the ongoing drama continues. The president of the board called a meeting ,,there was due notice, he stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss a board members who was taking too much time of the manager ..etc..
He provided no proof.

on the day of the meeting,one hour before the meeting he send a legal documents proposal for a resolution of the board of directors.

When i protested that the resolution of the board document was sent to the board one hour before the meeting. He said. that a written resolution of the board is the same thing as the original notification which was to discuss certain behavior.

Is it legal in texas for a duly called meeting of the board with 5 days notice, which specificed to discuss a certain board members interactions , for the president to then submit a resolution of the board which is specific diciplinary actions that will be taken.

The resolution itself actually just says, no board member can direct any employee on their own without board approval..
that's fine.. that's already the law. So it's kinda dumb and a waste of time.

I purposely did not call in to the meeting, I stated my objection before the meeting was to start regarding the surprise last minute adding a formal resolution of the board with a vote etc to the agenda.??

Well said!

You should have “attended” the meeting, and heard the discussion. As soon as the resolution was made you could have called a “point of order.”

You were right: The motion should have been stated in the notice of the meeting.

george,, no,, i didn't agree with the resolution. I also didn't agree with lack of required notification of the resolution.

The resolution in and of itself is not going to hold up to any scrutiny. However. more importantly,, I'm sick and fricking tired of the board ignoring the legal requirements of board governence as long as it's something that they support.

Laska,

I’ve read so many of your posts - I think you should consider bowing out of your role as director.

In my opinion, you are not going to be able to help your community.

So the resolution passed?

I also though resolutions of the board of directors were supposed to be pretty substantial issues .. this is basically a regurgitation of exisiting rules and regulations with the added comment that the board can send a cease and desist and then can hand it over to the attorney..

however.. They did not specify what "it" is..

Like I said, It's totally illegal to have even done this. I'm more concerned about the willful disregard of the legal requirements that govern our board regarding meetings. agendas, notifications. etc.

So how does it feel to be the hero and savior to all your other members who don't care to participate?

But, yet, “ I purposely did not call in to the meeting, I stated my objection before the meeting was to start regarding the surprise last minute adding a formal resolution of the board with a vote etc to the agenda.?? ”

I just don't know that Laska is getting the concept of working with the Board - fixing and repairing as possible - towards a common goal. And, if this is not possible, then working with the community to elect more suitable Board members.

Instead - I hear and feel constant ankle biting - perhaps from a well meaning ankle biter, but still ankle biting that is destructive to the Board's ability to do its job.

I am trying to NOT be judgmental, but it is really hard to read through the constant griping and whining and not think "ankle biter."

i wasn't eavesdropping,, it was a confernece call that all board members were provided call in numbers. the meeting had already started..

augustine,
thank you for acknowledging that not all complaints are ankle biting.

if you can believe it ,, today the president called me , and seemed to offer an olive branch. I think we all are all tired.. he acknowledged I had brought up valid concerns regarding the special meeting and he we are going to meet with one other board member to try and come to a resolution.

Was there a complaint from the landscaping company or MC that one board member was “ taking too much of their time”?

If so, the president should have had a private discussion with that person, issued a warning, and continued on.

But - you are right about the proper noticing concerning a motion.

Now let it go and continue on.

That may be good - frankly, from what I have read, Laska, you may be simply burning so much of the Board's time that they are now trying everything possible.

Please continue to think about the big picture, working with the other Board members while you get your points across and correct those things that ALL or MOST of you see as issues.
