Delinquent Board Member

Recently elected to BOD and learned one of the board members has been delinquent in his assessments for over 3 years and CAM told me he is on a payment plan. Past few years when we announced upcoming homeowner annual meeting, their cover letter states that one must be current in their dues with no outstanding fines, late fees. Is there any recourse I have to let this board member know he should step down? Also, there is nothing in our decs that state if you are on a payment plan it has no impact being a BOD member. Isn't this a conflict or setting a bad example should a (new) homeowner be elected and learn of this? -Renee

Suresh,

Whether he is eligible to run for a board position would be determined by what the bylaws say. The bylaws of my former assn do not prevent a delinquent owner from running for a board position however they did say that a board member could not serve if more than 30 days delinquent. One year there was a delinquent h/o on the slate who showed up at the annual meeting with a check to pay his delinquency in full.
