Meeting quourom

Sorry this may be rather lengthy. Trying to determine if we meet quorum at our annual meeting for election.

Our by-laws state.
The presence at the meeting of members entitled to cast, or of proxies entitled to cast, one-fifth (1/5) of the votes of each class of the members shall constitute a quorum for any action except as otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, the declaration, or these bylaws. If however such quorum shall not be presented or represented at the meeting another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirement, and require quorum at the required quorum shall be one half of the required quorum at the preceding meeting.

Our CC and R's state:
At the first such meeting called the presence of members or of proxies entitled to cast 10% of the votes of the association's membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present or represented, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirements, and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meetings

Our community consist of 800 homes.

How many members would be required for quourom?

Your bylaws appear to violate the CC&Rs. Under the hierarchy of documents, the CC&Rs overrule the bylaws so the quorum (including proxies) is 80 for the first meeting (10%) and 40 for the following meeting. That is assuming you have one vote per home.

So it would be 160? We definitely didn't have that many in attendance. Only about 60. How would it be handled if there was not a quorum.

I agree with Max, based on what was posted, the CC&Rs only specify the first meeting. Reading the entire section of the CC&Rs might have me change that opinion.

Per the Bylaws, the quorum is 1/5 or 160 lots represented (in person or by proxy). If a quorum is not reached (the presiding officer (typically the President) should ask the Secretary for a count at the beginning of the meeting), those present have the option to recess the meeting (and scour the development looking for owners to give proxies or attend) so a quorum is reached when the meeting is reconvened. The other option is to end the meeting (no business is conducted) and the board may schedule a new meeting (with proper notice to the membership about the new meeting) and the quorum at that meeting would be 80.

If a member suspects a quorum is not present, they should speak up at the meeting. If something was voted on at a meeting where a quorum wasn't present, that proposal would not be enforceable IF challenged in a court of law.

Note: Typically, the follow-on meeting is held within a month for a lower quorum to exist. However, without reviewing statutes or the governing documents, an argument could be made that as long as the follow up meeting was held anytime prior to the next annual meeting, the quorum requirement would be 1/2.

With bill, I'd like to see more, too. Feel like context is missing.
