Motion not in minutes

The president requested to have a motion from a board memeber not stated in the minutes.
Does the president has this right? If not what could be done to have this decision reversed.
Thank you.

I requestd that the management company be informed in writting of our concern about its laxisme in responding to requests.
i.e: 3 months to replace a stop sign in the private court, no respond to owners inquiries.
The board voted again and no seconded the motion, arguing that this will upset the management company working for the board for many years.
I am a new member, and I requestd that the motion be written in the minutes to have homeoweners informed. When the secretary refused to do it for "a lack of time" and I pointed out that is something done during the meeting, the president stated "enough is enough" and requested the motion not to be written.

Bernard,
Donna is absolutly right in her reply and I would like to say, by extension, you are absolutely right. I don't speak for Donna, she does that much better than I. But try and separate what went on at the meeting and look for cause and effect. It would not be unheard of for the Board to behave in a dictatorial fashion and respond as you say. It could be this issue is part of some other discussion that is going to be looked into. It could be that the Board was having a bad day at you expense. We just don't know that. Chances are your board is reacting to your critism not as if you are wrong or right, but you just happen to be in the right seat.
Upshot of all this is don't take this as a condemnation of the Board at this time. Try and work with the board and learn what else may be going on. If the board is defending poor management by the MC, this is not the only thing that is going on. It will also be evidenced usually by the Board taking a strong defensive position and will not be open in other matters.
Last thing is the Board is absolutely wrong in butting heads at an open meeting with a new member. You both need a chance to get to know each other. It should be a matter of concern when any member brings a problem to the Board. We had our president respond to a little pressure not long ago and he used the words, "enough is enough" as if that was a decree from the mount......Bull!

Yes Bernard,
AT thr next meeting -IF- they read the minutes and ask for a motion to approve-- get it on record that you want to make an addition or correction to those minutes. Then state your non approval of those previous minutes and hopefully you will be able to get the correction.

It sounds like this may be the time to flex your muscles to let the other BOD members know that they have got to do a better job at proceedures. Good Luck and take a stand. You are all volunteers and no one is more important than the other.
