People who live in Dist 8 can also start a recall on their director if the board won't. As of today, this rep has 2 yrs and 4 months left as a board director.
Article VIII Board of Directors Sec 7 Removal. "Any officer, director, or agent elected or appointed may be removed by the persons authorized to elect or appoint the officer, director, or agent with or without cause. The removal of a director shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the director so removed. Election or appointment of a director shall not of itself create contract rights.
(a) A recall election for a director may be called by two-thirds majority vote of the board, or by a petition of not fewer than 200 signatures of members from the director's District.
(b) The mail-in recall ballot may contain two statements of 200 words or fewer, one stating the case for removal of the director and the other to be submitted by the director being challenged.
© The director shall be removed on a two-thirds majority of the valid ballots returned."
Ref (a) above.... At the membership meeting, one of the proposed bylaw amendments by the Bylaw Committee and that the membership voted for...90 something votes by YOU, which will be on a ballot mailed to YOU in the near future, proposed that number changes from 200 signatures to 100. This will make the removal process simpler for members. So when you see it on the ballot, please vote YES.
I and other members initiated a recall petition process on Dist5 rep J Maynard. From first hand experience, 100 signatures is fair to members and board directors. The petition would only prompt a ballot recall process, not remove the director. Members can assist other members in obtaining signatures for the petition if they wish BUT they can't sign the petition if they don't own in that district. We had members from outside Dist5 assist in obtaining Dist5 petition signatures.
One more thing in getting signatures for a recall petition....all owners on the deed each count only as 1 signature on the petition. Each person only gets 1 petition signature even though they may own multiple lots.
On the recall ballot, 1 vote per lot. 3 lots = 3 votes.
