Board reports unanimous email vote to align ARC sign window with new Maryland law
Summary
Directors told the meeting they used an email vote on May 2 to amend ARC guidance so candidate and referendum sign rules match Senate Bill 758, which extends the sign period from 30 to 45 days.
Director Hevner announced that, after the governor signed Senate Bill 758 changing the candidate sign period, the board unanimously consented to an email vote on May 2 to amend the ARC guidelines (section 600.4, political candidates and referendum signs) to change the time period from 30 days to 45 days. Hevner cited the relevant bylaws and Maryland corporate law authority for taking the vote by email.
Why it matters: the amendment aligns Ocean Pines’ ARC guidance with state law and clarifies how candidates and referendum signs may be displayed in the community. The board recorded that the action was taken pursuant to the bylaws and corporate associations code.
