Thank you Dave, and thank you to the officers for their vote of confidence. Until the Delegate Assembly ratifies my appointment, I will work in the UCO Office as a resident-volunteer to assist in the transition of the new administration. Anything that I can do to make it smoother for Dave to take his place as President, I will gladly do.
I will also be in the office to help the residents in any way I can. Once again, thank you all and I hope it will be a good choice for all of us.

Thanks Phyllis for your gracious offer.

I'm am glad that you will soon be back. I always thought you were a dedicated V.P. Hope the Delegates do the right thing. They will be getting one of the best!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so elated for I can foresee
ReplyDeletethat you are going to be one of best VP that Century Village has seen in quite a while.
I could not say it any better than the post by "concerned unit owner". Phyllis we are also elated, and as a Delegate you have our association vote.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Phyllis! You have brought to my attention a flaw in the section of the UCO Bylaws pertaining to the filling of a vacancy of an officer. The word "appointment" needs to be replaced with the word "selection" in both places. The Officers' Committee does not "appoint" it (possibly) agrees on a "selection". This time the Committee agreed unanymously on a selection... you.
ReplyDeleteSince the selection has been made, the Delegate Assembly can now either choose to "appoint" the selection or not. If not, then a special election shall be held.
You see, if you were "appointed", you would already be Vice President. The motion at the Delegate Assembly will be "to appoint" (the selection by the Officers' Committee) and not to "ratify".
The next 'wave' of amendments will propose to delete "appointment" and to insert "selection" in both places.
"... In the event that the remaining officers fail to agree on the appointment, or, the Delegate Assembly fails to approve the appointment, a special election by the Delegate Assembly shall be held to fill the vacancy. Such officer shall serve for the unexpired term of the seat being filled.
Congratulations Phyllis! What a team this will be. Good for us!
ReplyDeleteRandall I think our bylaws should reflect as in Phyllis's case that she had the next greatest amounts of votes for vice president so she should automatically have been made a VP. The Delegates should not have to vote since she has been voted in. This should be for any position and the by laws should reflect this.
ReplyDeleteIn agreement with Grace's statement
ReplyDeleteThe Vote was cast by thoese interested enough to participate.
To present this for acceptance or rejection, by perhaps an EXPANDED representation of Delegates,
(Additional Associations participating, than originally did
45 Associations did NOT participate in the March election)
constitutes Fraud..in my humble
opinion. No Doubt another by law
change is needed..
There is NO doubt,
Grace,
ReplyDeleteYour suggestion of the 3rd highest vote getter becoming the Vice President who would serve the one-year reamaining term, was indeed included in my Schedule of Amendments, which the officers' committee rejected. Nice try though.
Phyllis has not been "voted in" as you stated, since there were two positions available at the time the vote occurred and two were filled by the two highest vote getters. The vacancy only officially occurred at the installation luncheon though the vacancy was clearly known once the votes were tallied (I don't know how many times) and David emerged President. But, I agree that this proposed Bylaw amendment should have been found acceptable especially since it was basically anticipated that a seated V.P. would participate in the election of the President, and therefore the process we now face could have been avoided.
Bettie,
The failure of an Association to ensure that it has proper representation may be a failure of the fiduciary responsibility of an Association's Board and Officers, but most certainly has nothing whatsoever to do with the legal term "fraud". If a seat of V.P. becomes vacant in June, should we wait until October or November to fill the vacancy, or to call an election fraudulent if only 90 Delegates and/or Alternates participated in the special election? There is no quorum requirement for a UCO election.
In condominium law, only 20% of the eligible voters must cast a vote for a valid election to be held. Would you call the election requirements of Florida Statute's, Chapter 718, "fraudulent"?
