i went with videotape and record. They saw it , They said it was illegal. i said they are on my property in my common area. i am a owner and i live here. quite a few of them did not, and are not shareholders.
Plus there a video camera right above out head and 2 more within 15 feet for security. i had asked about if they had picked up any of the meeting where the pres went extremely hostile and seemed like he was ready ti jump over the table and attack me for asking financial questions/.
the super said the cameras didnt pick up any of that,but i think otherwise, since they were pointed at the table, or maybe the MA told him to turn them off for the meeting? i should have checked into that. camera insures my safety and if i attacked, the video would helps a lot in court. MY MA refuses to record the meetings so that they can lie to the shareholders all night. the rest of the board, in the last 3 years has not said anything when i was asking these questions. They don't know that this bozo does not have any extra power besides conducting the meeting. Which he again did not follow the by-laws, which i brought out and read the areas where they skipped. He has done this for over 3 or 4 years, i always bring it up. This year i have to remember to get the letter out for the rebuttal on the minutes, you only have 90 days from receipt to file any problems with the meeting AFAIK. If you feel or know the voting was done in violation of the by-laws, get it faxed over in 90 days.
i use faxes , and sometimes certified if really necessary.
email is something i would not trust for this kind of stuff, unless a lawyer that deals with this ,told me it was ok.
they could easily put your email addy in the junk /spam or delete on receipt list.
lawyers have told me to fax, better than phone calls and letters unless certified, considering it takes 6 months for a improperly addressed letter to get a return to sender. With a fax receipt you can print out what wa faxed and the receipt, which tells you the phone number and pages and successful transmission or unsuccessful xmit/ Plus you can double check the phone number. i personally have a hard time seeing those digits n doing it manually

i should have done that the last 4 years, and required them to provide evidence of the true minutes. on canoe club meetings we were recording the minutes of the meeting 20 years ago, it my fall under no due diligence for the board, especially since every year i question the validity and point out the errors of the prev years minutes. And i usually have to point out the not following of the bylaws for the minutes, which the MA said is just a guide that they don't have to follow. I call it the by-laws that specifically describe how the meeting is to be conducted.
i scanned and OCR all the pertinent parts of the bylaws, therfor i can easily make a copyy , have it in dropbox/goggledocs and have it in pdf and open office text. .odt. mo propritary software anymore for me.

i explained to one of the new board members, do not let this guy drag you down and cost you money, board members are NOT indemnified for failure to stop self dealing, self-dealing, failure to perform their due diligence, violating fiduciary responsibility.
They did not know that, i am sure the MA and pres led to them about that too, making them think they are covered bu a free legal defense when they fail to due their duties and oblations,
