President posted Draft minutes

What am I missing? The president posted draft minutes on the bulletin board which is on a public street. The board has not seen or approved these minutes and they are not signed. They contain many errors, including the statement that my role as a new director is road maintenance which is completely false!

Did you talk to the president about this? If not, why not- you already know he doesn't like you, but if this is the first time he's done this, it would be interesting to see why he felt compelled to do it this time.

If these were identified as draft minutes, I would hope people understand they aren't official until after the board takes a formal vote. Before that, the errors should be identified and corrected, then the board can vote to approve them with corrections. At least that's how my community does it.

If all this was done to embarrass you (and thats a possibility), you'll have to decide what happens next. This isn't the first skirmish you've written about and since it appears he won't stop, you need to consider how you’ll react going forward. Personally, if I were on your board, I'd call for an executive session and then tell both of you to either find a way to work together or both of you need to leave the board. The president should be reminded you were duly appointed to the position and there's too much association business that needs to be addressed and this dart throwing is getting in the way.

As for you, we only hear one side of the story, so I don't know how much you're contributing to this drama.
Unfortunately so much has happened between you, the president and his wife (can't forget her, although she hasnt cone up lately), it's getting harder to tell the legit issues from personal beef between the two of you. You two don't like each other, but you're on the board together for better or worse. You said someone nominated you for some reason- I wonder if he or she did that just to sit back and watch the explosion.

Since you said these were draft minutes, focus on that. Every time he tries to snap at you, do your best to keep cool. It may take a while, but eventually he'll have to find another way to get rid of you and then you can address that. Until then, people need to see the differences - you're trying to find ways to make the community better while he focuses on keeping power.

They don't comply with 4950. There is no requirement to post draft minutes but only to supply them to a member who asks for them.

The Secretary writes draft minutes then turns them over to the president who finishes them. There are never draft minutes for the board to approve.

In 6 years, my request for minutes has never been answered.

These were not identified as draft minutes.

I requested in writing that they be taken down until the board can finalize them.

I suppose if they are not finalized by the board, and not signed by the Secretary, they don't mean anything in reality.

The crazy thing is that no votes took place. I think it's more a propaganda message to members. And, yes, my side is just one side for sure.

So....you won't write "DRAFT" on them?

The board does not "finalize" draft minutes. It "approves" them after amendments and corrections & amendments, if any.

Say, Why not place "Approve draft minutes of the xx//xx/2024 open Board meeting" on the next open minute agenda?

Sounds like you will do a great job with road maintenance. LOL.

Correction: I'm still the scapegoat but for a new reason!

What does this mean?

As we've discussed previously, the Board or prez cannot "discipline" you unless your Board has a policy that was approved by the Board to discipline board members.
