We just took over our HOA from the developer in Jan. at our annual meeting and I ended up secretary. We had a MC who was to take the minutes but I made tape recording of the meeting also for my own records. After three illegal meetings (President called them "socials", we finally called a Board meeting in which the Property Manager was in attendance. One HO that I had talked to many times had told me she was very upset w/both the developer, MC and the Property Manager and that she was going to stir things up. She had been dealing w/a leak problem early on and was never able to get any thing done and placed the blame on the MC and the Property Manager of our HOA. She had told me she was going to sound off at the meeting but in my wildest dreams did I think of what would happen. This HO along w/her partner came to the meeting highly intoxicated (don't ever have a meeting in a place that serves alcohol-VFW) From the very beginning of the meeting they were disruptive, using very offensive language directed toward the Property Manager. The President ask them to be nice and let the meeting proceed. The abuse continued w/her even coming up and slamming a piece of paper on the table in front of each of us. I am ashmed to say I just sit there in ah, waiting for the President to do something which he didn't. Our manager finally took all she could, gathered her things then got up and left. The intoxicated couple left shortly after and the stupid President just simple continued w/the meeting. Because of all this, time had quickly passed w/nothing getting done....It was late and I ask the V.President to make a motion to adourn the meeting and I would second. The President was very mad about this but we walked out the door. Later that same evening he sent an e-mail to the Board members that he was resigning (that was the one good thing that came from this-he had wasted three monthes)....after this long story what I want to know is when I write the minutes do I add all this and post the name of the HO or what. This meeting was several monthes ago and it still hasn't been done. I apoligized the next day to the Property Manager for the HO and for me not standing up for her and making the motion sooner. I ask her to help me w/the minutes because as the new secretary, I had never done this and really didn't know how. She never replied to my e-mail except to thank me for the apology....Can you believe the President (former V.President, that was at this meeting) wants to add this HO to the board. I do not feel this is the proper thing to do and told her so.
