Your Executive Board represents you, the membership, while following an agenda for a regularly scheduled meeting. They are responsible to present an issue, make a motion, a second, have discussion and then vote to approve or not to approve the issue on the table. Typically attendees listen and do not interject during the business of the meeting. At the conclusion of the meeting it is common practice to open the floor to the attendees, the individual homeowners, this is called a public forum. During the public forum you then ask, discuss and/or challenge any issue. The results may take the position of being deferred to one or more future meeting(s) for the Executive Board to consider and/or act upon. Or the issue may be something as simple as an announcement by an individual homeowner. Most HOAs include in their recorded minutes the public forum. Most HOAs follow the standards outlined in Roberts Rules of Order, a procedure not a federal or state law, for maintaining decorum and fairness. (remember – an Annual Meeting is not a regularly scheduled board meeting – big difference)
