The Board of Directors may, after giving written notice and an
opportunity to request a hearing before the Board, levy reasonable
fines for violations of the Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules and
Regulations of the Association, as long as the fines levied are based on
a schedule of fines previously adopted by Board resolution that is
mailed to the mailing address of each Lot or mailed to the mailing
address designated in writing by the Owner(s). If a Member requests a
hearing, the Board shall schedule the hearing within a reasonable time.
The Board of Directors may adopt reasonable rules and regulations
setting forth the procedures for hearings under this section.

A good rule with a stacked deck since the Board continues to show bias toward members they don’t like. Just ask the Donzellis or come talk to me. Any meeting to resolve disputes on rule violations must include d a 3rd party, unaffiliated with the Board or the member who has illegibly broken a rule.

Vote No as Written

Resignation or Removal of Directors. A Director of the Association may
resign as a Director by delivering written notice of the resignation to
the President of the Board or the Secretary. Directors may be removed
by a majority vote of all members, however, unless the entire Board is
removed, an individual Director shall not be removed if the number of
votes against the resolution for his removal exceeds the quotient
arrived at when the total number of entitled votes is divided by the
authorized number of Directors plus one (1). At a meeting of the
Members at which a quorum is present, the Members may remove a Director from the Board of Directors, with or without cause, by a
majority vote of all Members, provided that:
(A) Before a vote to remove a Director, Members must give the
Director whose removal has been proposed an opportunity to be
heard at the meeting;
(B) The Members must vote on the removal of each Director whose
removal is proposed as a separate question; and
(C) Removal of a Director by Members is effective only if the
matter of removal was an item on the agenda and was stated in the
notice of the meeting.

If the majority of the membership (This means the total membership, not just who shows up at a meeting) or a Board member issues a no confidence vote, that’s it. There is no appeal. Run again next year if you think you have a case. We don’t have time for appeal processes. Majority Rules. If you are removing the member without cause there should be no appeal process.

At the discretion of the Board of Directors, any notice, information, or
other written material required to be given to an Owner or Director
may be given by electronic mail, facsimile, or other form of electronic
communication acceptable to the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, electronic communication may not be used to
give notice of (a) failure to pay an assessment; (b) foreclosure of an
association lien; (c) an action the Association may take against an
Owner; or (d) an offer to use the dispute resolution program. An Owner
or Director may decline to receive notice by electronic communication
and may direct the Board of Directors to provide notice as required
elsewhere in these Bylaws, the Declaration, or ORS Chapter 94.

Email is the excepted practice for communication world-wide. If there is required communication such as for fines, liens or other legal action that must be sent via registered or certified mail. Another unnecessary rule.

Vote No as Written

The number Directors of the corporation shall be 3 Directors.
Beginning on January 1, 2022, the number of Directors shall increase
from three (3) to five (5) Directors. They shall be elected at the annual
meeting of the members and each Directors shall be elected to serve
until the second succeeding annual meeting after his election and until
his or her successors have been elected. At the first annual meeting, to
be held on the 18th of August, 1973, there shall be elected one Director
for a period of one (1) year, one Director for a period of two (2) years
and one Director for a period of three (3) years; thereafter the terms of
each elected Director shall be three (3) years from the date of his or
her election. The terms of the three (3) Directors who are already
serving prior to January 1, 2022, shall expire at the annual meeting in
the year 2023, and thereafter shall be elected by the membership for
two-year terms. The two (2) new Director positions created on January
1, 2022, which terms shall expire at the annual meeting in the year
2022, shall be appointed by a majority vote of the three (3) currently
serving Directors, and thereafter shall be elected by the membership
for two-year terms. Thereafter, the terms of the Directors shall stagger,
with three (3) Directors being elected in odd-numbered years and two
(2) Directors being elected in even-numbered years. All Directors must be owners or co-owners of a Lot within Wild River, but only one co-
owner of any single Lot may serve as a Director at any particular time.

What’s the justification?

Stacking the court with so many appointed officials will take the decision making out of the hands of the membership. The Board can’t win using common sense rules so they have to cheat!

Currently between the board, arc, treasurer, secretary they have a total of almost 20 votes. Adding two more directors could increase that number to 25, depending on how many lots they own.

Recommendation: While serving the community on the board or ARC, those members may only cast one vote.

Three Board of Directors is an adequate number.

Vote Hell No!

All Board Meetings will be open to any and all Members of the
Association for observation; however, a Member who is not a Director
does not have any right to participate in a Board Meeting except as
may be allowed by the Board. The President may exclude from any
Board Meeting any Association Member who disrupts the proceedings
at a Board Meeting, or who refuses to yield the floor during any
Member-input portion of a Board Meeting. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board may close a Board Meeting to Members and meet
in an executive session to:
(A) Consult with legal counsel;or
(B) Consider the following:
(i) Personnel matters, including salary negotiations and
employee discipline;
(ii) Negotiation of contracts with third parties;or
(iii) Collection of unpaid assessments.

Except in the case of an emergency, the Board may not meet in
executive session unless voted for by the Board in an open meeting and
the President of the Board states the general nature of the action to be
considered and, as precisely as possible, when and under what
circumstances the deliberations can be disclosed to Members. The
statement, motion or decision to meet in executive session must be
included in the minutes of the meeting.

All Board Meetings should always be open to all paid up members. If there is disruption during a meeting the decision should be open for the membership to vote with a show of hands to have the individual excluded from the meeting. This keeps the Board from excluding people who have legitimate issues needing to be addressed. Everything listed for the need for an executive session can be dealt with via other means, e.g. email or a phone call.
