Re: Notice & Complaint Against Limiting Member Meetings to two hours!
Dear Landowners & Board,
The Agenda below limits the member meetings to two hours. Members contend they can not review nor discuss more than a fraction of all the Bylaws & Covenants with the
one 1/2 hours left after the intro/review below. Some are asking for 4 hour meetings.
The GLA Bylaw Section V.C. allows the Board to state the time of the meeting, but not allow the Board to set the length of the meeting. In fact, due to the Board exceeding the “30 days” time limit to act on the petition, we petition signers now have the right (per state law 35-2-527(3) MCA) to set time & date for these member meetings:
35-2-527(3)MCA says, "If a notice for a special meeting demanded under subsection (1)(b) is not given pursuant to 35-2-530 within 30 days after the date the written demand is delivered to a corporate officer, regardless of the requirements of subsection (4), a person signing the demand or demands may set the time and place of the meeting and give notice pursuant to 35-2-530.”
Therefore, we petition signers hereby demand the GLA change the Special Meeting dates and times and GLA "corporation shall give [new] notice” (per 35-2-530 MCA) of these new times and dates for the Petition Special Meetings, as follows:
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF MEMBERS
