Special meeting was called but Board members say they will ignore it

Our governing documents say the Board Prez can call a special meeting. When the Board President calls a closed special meeting, can the other Board members overrule it and ignore it? We are five Board members. Two said they will ignore it and not attend. They are telling me to ignore it too?? We’re in Monterey California.

Tim, it’s a special meeting (executive session in between meetings) that our Board Prez emailed us about late this evening. He says it’s regarding a legal issue. He’s asking us to send him our availability by Wednesday to set an official date for this meeting. Two other Board members told me they will ignore it because they don’t want the meeting to happen when I asked them.

Sounds like it's your option.

You know the specifics, we don't.
If you think the issue can wait until the next scheduled meeting, say your not that available.
If you don't think the issue can wait, give your availability and see if a quorum shows up or not.
