I've checked HPP's bylaws.. under Article VI, Sec. 2, Voting Rights of Members "Each lot, provided road maintenance assessments are current, shall be entitled to one vote in matters upon by the Association, subject to Article XI. In the case of multiple ownership, only one vote shall be cast per lot." Article VIII, Sec 7 Removal © "The director shall be removed on a 2/3 majority of the valid ballots returned." I also looked in Article V-Bylaws Definitions and didn't find anything that says anything different than the above quotes.
It appears that there is no differentiation between voting on any association matters, so if you own multiple lots, you get multiple votes whether you're voting for a candidate or whether you're voting to remove a board rep by recall. Per our bylaws Article VI Sec 3, Proxy Votes aren't permitted. I believe at the last Gen'l Membership Mtg someone was voting by proxy as he had over 7 paddles in his hand. Later at a board mtg, it was confirmed that illegal voting had occurred and security will be tightened up.
I speak about the past bc it does pertain to the present. Friends of the Terminated Employees, FOTE, want to distract us about the past mgmt problems which led up to the terminations. Many of us don't want the TE's or certain board members coming back bc of those past problems. Yes, we have issues with this mgmt and we can't be broad stroked and say they're all bad either. Just like this board, the last board and beyond, there's a majority and a minority. We don't know what will happen when we finally get a new GM hired. Will the next GM be a good manager? We don't know yet.
I think the term FOB has to be recanted as this board has 4 new members, almost half, and we still don't know where these new members stand. I support any board member that follows our bylaws and that doesn't make me a FOB. In actuality, I'm probably the opposite after recent events bc I stood up against those that don't. I hope the newest board members will learn our bylaws, not follow the others blindly and will stand up against anyone on the board that isn't following our bylaws. Hopefully the majority will be the ones who follow our bylaws, not the other way around.
