If HOA CCRs state "must be approved by the BOD"

that means a vote of the entire BOD when constituting a quorun at a BOD meeting right? However, our President just stated that it really means the "officers". He was responding to, and denied, a request for a proposed BOD meeting agenda item for our upcoming Oct.meeting. Our Protective Covenants state this particular issue "must be approved by the Board of Directors". President's emailed reply, word for word: "In Covenants where it says approved by the board of directors it is understood that the authority is delegated to the officers unless it says by a vote of the board." Well, hello, none of our CCRs make any reference to "a VOTE of the BOD" ever, it is always stated as "APPROVED by the BOD". I have researched our FL 720 and 617, and I need to find a proper rebuttal, other than an emotional one. Thanks again.

Thank you so very much for your response. I have needed something definitive to respond with. Dana
