Director Brockett Refuses to Condone Illegal Board Meetings
Director Tim Brockett released the following statement to the Forum on January 17, 2021. It is his response to former GLA President Newman Brozovsky's attempt to hold a Board meeting with all pre-December 7th, 2020 Directors present and voting. Both Brozovsky's and Director Gerald Dubiel's terms ended on December 7th via Term Limits. Another Director, Ed Dobrowski, resigned effective at the end of 2020. Five more Directors quietly lost their seats when no successors were seated at the December 7th Board meeting.
As a legally elected and serving GLA Director I believe that I must follow our Governing Documents and all other applicable laws when fulfilling my responsibilities. After reading the Draft Agenda for tomorrow night's meeting it appears that several former directors will be present and voting on current issues. That would violate our Bylaws and Montana State Law.
I have repeatedly urged the GLA Board to seek competent and unbiased legal advice and a judge's ruling regarding the legitimacy of several Board members. As far as I can tell, nothing has been done. If I am correct that non-serving directors will be voting, then any votes and actions taken by the partially illegitimate board will be null and void. Therefore I will not be attending or participating in any potentially illegal Board meetings until I can be assured that all voting directors are legitimate.
Per our Bylaws there must be at least four directors for the GLA Board to hold a legitimate meeting. Currently I can only ascertain that three Directors hold legitimate authority to perform the duties of GLA Director; Director Mizzi, Accatino and myself.
Sincerely,
Director Tim Brockett
