Committee member moves to call special meeting to consider removing two directors amid online-defamation claims
Summary
A committee member moved and the board voted to initiate a special-members meeting to consider removing two directors (named in discussion) after repeated allegedly defamatory social-media posts and a $750,000 demand letter; members debated whether the motion could be acted on without the formal special-meeting notice process required by the bylaws.
A committee member moved to call a special meeting of members to consider removing two directors — identified in discussion as Al Morrow and Rockindell — citing repeated online posts and a demand letter that one director said seeks $750,000. The mover cited the bylaws (article 4, section 9) as authority for removal by member vote and said the association could call a special meeting within the required window.
The board debated procedural constraints: another member pointed out that removal must be decided at a duly called special meeting with proper notice to members in good standing and a membership-supermajority threshold for removal. Despite that, the board voted to send notices to members to convene a special meeting to consider removal; one board member objected on the grounds that the motion was not on the current agenda.
Why it matters: the action proceeds to a membership vote and could change board composition; it also reflects a breakdown in trust between directors and some members over social-media conduct and past litigation decisions.
Quote: “I make a motion that we have a special session for the purpose of removing Al Morrow specifically and Rockindell from the board,” the committee member said.
What’s next: The board agreed to issue notice to members about a special meeting; the exact date and the formal member-vote procedure were not recorded at this meeting.
