I have no objection to a Code of Conduct, but believe it needs to include factors that address behaviour that is inappropriate. The primary impetus seems to be the proclamation by one person Who has objected to most boards and board members since their arrival at SLR. They have proclaimed that the 2024 budgets did not pass and the board is misleading owners by claiming it did pass.
This is wrong, the Florida HOA statute provides the answer in section 720.306
Meetings of members; voting and election procedures; amendments.—
(1) (a) Unless a lower number is provided in the bylaws, the percentage of voting interests required to constitute a
quorum at a meeting of the members shall be 30 percent of the total voting interests. Unless otherwise provided in this chapter or in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, decisions that require a vote of the members must be made by the concurrence of at least a majority of the voting interests present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting at which a quorum has been attained.
There are no other relevant provisions that apply. Yes, when the reserve budget is first approved it required a majority of all owners but that was decades ago. Now it is a simple majority of the owners voting, provided a quorum for the meeting was met. Which it was. This simple majority was confirmed by SLRs attorney shortly after the annual meeting and communicated to all owners of the SLR facebook page.
