We recently held an election to vote 2 new board members onto the Board of our townhome association. Myself and one other home owner/resident was voted in by the residents.
The day of the election we received a copy an Amendment to Bylaws because the number of board members (3) did not conform with the number of board members set forth in the Declaration (5).
The Amendment was signed by the President of our Assocation, who is also the builder and all members on the board were originally appointed by him. (declarant).
We went forward with the election, however, at a recent 'owner's meeting" that we have on our own every month or so it was brought up if this was legal and if the Declarant can amend the bylaws without the knowledge of the owners??? can the Declarant change any bylaw he sees wants. At the time of this amendment all members of the board were related to the Declarant.
Any information you can give me on this is appreciated since I am new to all of this (as is my neighbor who is also on the Board) and we are in a learning phase....
thanks...
