Our Board was presented with a properly prepared petition for a Membership Meeting to recall three seated Board members. A President, a Vice President, and a Member at Large. The petitioners are concerned that we don't have a Secretary or Treasurer. We also want a new management company. The September/October issue of Common Ground defined the recall process and stated that if Board members wanted to contest the recall, they may have pay out thier own pockets. The Board did not deliver notice of Membership Meeting within the twenty day time period defined in our CC&Rs. Our property manager stated: "OUR attorney said the notice of Membership Meeting could be mailed after the twenty days as stated in our CC&Rs. My question is regarding legal fees incurred by the Board. I don't believe the Association attorney should be billing the Membership to provide legal advice about how to defeat the recall. The Board members are discussing the recall with Association Members outside of a meeting and tell Members that the Recall is a waste of money. We have replacement Board members should the seated Board be recalled. But, we don't believe the Association should pay for legal fees incurred by the seated Board? Please advise.
