Fee Changes - Voting & Meeting Procedures

Meetings and voting

Oct 26, 2005
The neighborhood indentures dictate that annual meetings and any special meetings where neighborhood business is conducted involving indenture changes must be predicated with proper notification to all homeowners. At one time a newpaper ad was sufficient, but we typically mail notices to each home. Any resident who cannot attend can still vote by filling out a proxy, which allows another homeowner to cast their absent ballot along with his own. This proxy can be given to any homeowner or to the Trustees. Keep in mind that the homeowner holding proxies does the actual voting. When you give a proxy to someone else to vote for you, you are trusting them to vote in your interests. Danbury has consistently used proxy voting to establish a quorum in order to pass indenture changes due to the lack of attendance at meetings.
