Question:
Can a board of directors vote on a resolution by themselves and pass it by themselves without regard for the homeowners? I have lived in my condo community for 20 years and don’t recall the board ever considering a resolution. I know something about resolutions but very little. I am a former director. We have had boards that i haven’t trusted. The homeowners in my community take very little interest in the association. The board can basically do what they want and no one would know.
So could the board approve a resolution by themselves? They have sent us the information regarding the resolutions, but i have questions about it. But as i understand the issue, the homeowners may not have much to say about what the board decides to do.
Thank you,
– Tom
Answer:
Hi Tom,
It depends on the governing documents and whether they provide the board authority to make resolutions. Kindly review them for verification. If the governing documents allow board resolutions, they typically do not need membership votes to pass. They usually only require a board vote. For further guidance, kindly consult a lawyer.
