recall of BOD

We are recalling the BOD of our association. We have the majority needed and would like to serve them in person and also by registered mail. Is there anything against the rules in doing so. This is in Florida. Although we have never recognized them as an official board due to the way the election was executed we feel that by doing a recall we have covered all our bases. If they refuse to certify the recall and take the next step to arbitration even if it was found the election was by some stretch of the imagination legal they would already be recalled making it a moot point. Does this make sense? Out of 37 voting interests we have 20, those opposed are 5 voting interests out of the 5 two own 2 lots thus 4 votes. The others could not be reached and one does not vote due to religious beliefs.

Why do you believe, or what makes the election unofficial and invalid?

Hi Julie,
Its kind of a long story but in summary at our annual meeting in Feb. we ran out of time for all the things we wanted to discuss before we ended the meeting I asked if there were any volunteers for the BOD as I do every year nobody volunteered, no need for an election the same 3 remained as has been the same for the past 3 years. On leaving someone suggested meeting in April
to discuss landscaping and information on a management Co. no firm date was set and there was no continuance announced or filed in the minutes. I put out a notice that we would have a special meeting on may 11th to discuss landscaping and receive info on the management co.At the last minute the two other board members were called out of town and could not attend. I held the meeting anyway,2days prior to the meeting at the request of a homeowner, I sent her a copy of an agenda,which we really did not need but she insisted on it, to save time I sent her a stock agenda forgetting to delete the election portion.So the only members at the meeting were a few of disgruntled owners. They became abusive to I closed the meeting, after leaving they elected themselves to the board.

Doesn't sound like a good situation to have someone create their own board. Who confirmed the results? I would contact an attorney on the validity of the so called election. Otherwise, start the petition process ASAP and call the meeting.

As for the special meeting, we went through this last year. A petition with the required 25% of signatures was delivered to my door by a bunch of angry homeowners. The board then set the meeting date (as they didn't) to coinicide with the due date of the assessments as removal of board members di calculatd by a 2/3 majority vote of the eligibile association. Myself and another were removed by the exact number of votes required. The person spear-heading the overturn knocked on doors collecting proxies from homeowners so that she could vote at the meeting.
