Management of Owners' Association
|
Section 1. Creation of Board of Directors
The
members of the Association shall hold an organizational
meeting within forty-five (45) days after the close of
sale of the first unit in the project which represents
the fifty-first (51st) percentile interest authorized
for sale under the first Public Report, but no later than
six (6) months after the close of sale of the first unit
in the project, at which time a Board of Directors shall
be elected by vote of the Association members. Prior to
the organizational meeting, the initial Board named by
Declarant shall manage the affairs of the Association.
|
Section 2. Annual Meeting
Annual
meetings of owners shall be held on the same day of the
same month of each year after the organizational meeting.
At the organizational meeting, the owners shall elect
a Board of Directors consisting of five (5) members, all
of whom shall be owners and which may include Declarant,
or Declarant's representatives. |
Section 3. Owner Voting Rights
The
Association shall have two (2) classes of membership:Class
A shall be all those owners, with the exception of Declarant,
and shall be entitled to one vote for each unit in which
they hold the required interest for membership. When more
than one person holds such interests in any unit, all
such persons shall be members. The one vote for each unit
shall be exercised as they among themselves determine,
but in no event, shall more than one vote be cast with
respect to any unit.lass B member(s) shall be Declarant,
and shall be entitled to three votes for each unit in
which Declarant holds the interest required for membership;
provided that the Class B membership shall cease and be
converted to Class A membership on the happening of the
following events, whichever shall occur sooner: (a) when
the total votes outstanding in the Class A membership
equal the total votes outstanding in the Class B membership.
However, should this occur prior to annexation of the
real property described in Exhibit "E" hereto,
then annexation of said real property and upon commencement
of monthly maintenance charges by Declarant, for each
unsold unit owned by Declarant, in determining the total
votes outstanding in the Class B membership, the unsold
units owned by Declarant in the annexed property shall
be included; (b) two (2) years after original issuance
of the most recently issued Public Report for a phase
in the project; or (c) on December 31, 1982. So long as
the two classes of members exist in the Association, no
action by the Association which must have the prior approval
of the members, shall be deemed approved by the members
unless approved by the appropriate percentage of both
classes of members. |
Section 4. Election and Removal of the Board
Every
owners entitled to vote at any Board election, may cumulate
his vote and give a candidate a number of votes equal
to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by
the number of votes to which his unit is entitled or may
distribute his vote on the same principle among as many
candidates as he desires. The entire Board or any individual
director may be removed from office by the affirmative
vote of fifty-one (51%) percent of members entitled to
vote at an election of the Board. However, unless the
entire Board is removed, an individual director shall
not be removed if the number of votes against the resolution
for his removal exceeds the quotient arrived at when the
total number of outstanding votes is divided by the authorized
number of directors plus one. Cumulative voting in the
election of the Board shall be prescribed for all elections
in which more than two (2) positions on the Board are
to be filled. If any or all of the directors are so removed,
new directors may be elected at the same meeting. |
Section 5. Special Procedure
To
assure resident owners representation on the Board, at
least one (1) member of the Board shall be elected solely
by the vote of owners other than Declarant, at all elections
where the owners, other then Declarant, do not have a
sufficient percentage of voting power to elect at least
one member of the Board through cumulative voting of all
their votes. A director who has been elected to office
solely by the votes of members of the Association, other
than Declarant, may be removed from office prior to the
expiration of his term only by the vote of at least a
simple majority of the voting power residing in members
other than Declarant. |
Section 6. Voting Proxies
Voting
may be carried on either in person or by proxy. |
Section 7. Quorum Requirements for Association
Meetings
At
all meetings of owners, a quorum for the transaction of
business through the presence in person or by proxy of
such members, shall be established at fifty-one (51%)
percent of the total voting power of the Association which
shall be sufficient for the passage of any motion or adoption
of any resolution, except in connection with amendment
or repeal of this Declaration, as hereinafter set forth
under Articles X or XVI. If the required quorum is not
present, another meeting may be called subject to the
written notice requirements sent to all members at least
10 (10) days in advance of such meeting, and the required
quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2)
of the required quorum for the preceding meeting. In the
absence of a quorum at a meeting of members, a majority
of those present in person or by proxy may adjourn the
meeting to another time, but may not transact any other
business. An adjournment for lack of a quorum shall be
to a date not less than five (5) nor more than thirty
(30) days from the original meeting date. |
Section 8. Written Notice of Meetings
Written
notice of regular and special meetings shall be given
to members by the Board at least ten (10) days in advance
of any such meeting. The notice shall specify the date,
time and place of meeting and in the case of a special
meeting, the nature of business to be undertaken. A special
meeting of members of the Association shall be promptly
called by the Board upon: (a) the vote for such a meeting
by a majority of the Board; or (b) receipt of written
request thereof, signed by members representing twenty-five
(25%) percent of the total voting power of the Association,
or by members representing not less than fifteen (15%)
percent of the voting power residing in members other
than Declarant. |
Section 9. Indemnification for Performance
of Duties
Every
director, officer and member of the Association shall
be indemnified by the Association against all reasonable
costs, expenses and liabilities, including attorney's
fees, actually or necessarily incurred by or imposed upon
him in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding,
investigation or inquiry of whatever nature, in which
he may be involved as a part or otherwise, by reason of
his having been an officer or member of the Association,
whether he continues in such capacity at the time of the
incurring or imposition of such costs, expenses or liabilities,
except in relation to matters as to which he shall be
finally adjusted in such action, suit, proceeding, investigation
or inquiry to be liable for willful misconduct or negligence
toward the Association in the performance of his duties
or, in the absence of such final adjudication, any determination
of such liability by the opinion of legal counsel selected
by the Association. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall be in addition to and not in limitation of all rights
to which such person may be entitled as a matter of law
and shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives
of such person. |
