Full Board Recall

Homeowners in our CID are recalling the entire board. The board set the meeting on May 1, the last possible day (90 days after notifying all homeowers) and sent out a proxy.

The proxy didn't include any information about selecting a replacement board. The board claims that, even if the recall succeeds, they remain in office for another 90 days, after which they will call a special meeting to elect a new board. Is it possible that after a board that has been "fired" can continue to meet and conduct business?

The proxy included language that gives the board the authority to cast the proxy against the recall if it is submitted without naming a proxy holder or designating how to vote. Isn't this a conflict of interest?

Each board member has announced that if they are recalled, they would nominate themselves for re-election to the board at the special election meeting. In other words, to replace themselves after having been recalled.

Can the homeowners send out aother proxy that includes a place to name the proxy holder, a place to vote for or against the recall and a list of candidates to replace the board with a place for write-in names? HELP!!!

It would be ridiculous for a Board to be recalled, and then remain for 90 days. Kind of like getting fired on bad terms...and having the company still let you perform your job. Imagine the damage that can be caused in 90 days!

I agree that you need to know all the facts and applicable law. This could get very ugly very fast, as it appears to me from what you wrote that the Board is taking liberty with the proxies.

Best of Luck,
