Remember last year when ‘just a PPT presentation’ turned into a Delegate Mtg with no quorum, and the Executive Board voted in its agenda. A close check should be kept on goings on this summer (term limits, sunshine, bylaw interpretation, etc.) Hurricanes also make possible no quorums and extraordinary powers.
How early does the Delegate Agenda have to be available before their meeting?

Summer no-quorum time

The delegates meeting and the executive board meetings held recently have had more than a quorum each time. There does not appear to be a problem at this time.
Please look at UCO bylaws Article IX Subsection C for your answer about the delegate assembly agenda.
The answer is 48 hours before the Meeting
IT is only 48 hours if SOMETHING HAS TO BE VOTED ON. Check the wording in Article IX Subsection C. There appears to be no requirement to have the agenda available in advance of the meeting IF THERE IS NOTHING TO VOTE ON.
For someone on the executive team, it is strange that you say all is well when a long list of delegates are not attending del meetings It makes you somewhat suspect Lullaby Larry. Every delegate that can be at summer meetings should encouraged to be there.
UCO should be encouraged to proovide agendas at all times if they really want to communicate.
There is no way you can force delegates to attend a meeting. I understand at last months meeting there were 184 delegates in attendance while the quorum was only 107.
If you want to know why all the delegates that could come did not come you will have to ask them.
In the past when agendas were available in advance at the UCO office few people bothered to come get them in advance.
Over the years changes have been made to quorum counts at different times of the year, how many delegates and where they come from.
None of these changes help if the delegates do not choose to show up.
I'm sure people did not pick up agendas because they did not know they were available. Larry’s attitude reminds me of “we always do the minimum required” like Enron, add to that a few simple mistakes, failure to communicate, no legal requirement – disastrous. the question was not why do people not come, it was why are you effectively telling them the meeting can do without them becos you have plenty for quorum.
I NEVER said that delegates were not needed to attend delegates meeting I only said that all recent meetings had the required quorum.It is sill a mystery to me why the attendance is so low. It appears that some building delegates just do not care.
Larry,
The quorum is 117 (not 107)for meetings in May, June, July, August, and September; 141 is the quorum for all other months.
It appears that the vast majority of our residents have no idea what the UCO bylaws contain and do not care.
It also appears that a lot of our residents have no idea what their own building bylaws contain and do not care.
It appears that a lot of our residents do not read the UCO paper or watch channel 63 for information. It is a lot easier to say no one took the time to let me know what goes on in the village and complain about what they do not know.
Randall thanks for the correction. I planned to type 117 but instead typed 107. I never took any typing lessons.
