Looking at the agenda for tomorrow's meeting, I don't see most of the items that were covered in the three invalid October meetings. Does the Board intend to ignore the Bylaws again? Or for members to forget that those items have not received valid discussion and vote?
In addition, I don't see an item on the road maintenance fees, unless it is intended to raise it by way of the Treasurer's Report or a last-minute amendment to the agenda - both of which, while perhaps possible under the Bylaws, seem rather deceitful. Many members, who might consider this something on which they would want to comment, might not realize that this item has to be covered at this meeting and not attend.
"ARTICLE XI - ASSESSMENTS, Section 2. Road Maintenance Assessments. (b) Annual mandatory road maintenance assessments shall be established by a majority vote of the board at a meeting of the board to be held not more than 90 days nor fewer than 30 days prior to the close of the calendar year."
This raises another serious point, for which I cannot find a solution in the Bylaws. Subsection (b) indicates that, if no action is taken before the end of November, the Association cannot assess ANY road maintenance fees in 2015. It does not imply "or they will be maintained at the previous year's level". They are to be established (i.e. created) each year.
