QUESTION:
For purposes of a recall election, how does the fact that 30% of the
properties in our development were foreclosed and are now owned by banks
affect the vote?
ANSWER: Bank-owned units count toward the total voting power of the association. Banks, provided they are in
good standing,
have the right to vote in a recall. Unfortunately, banks rarely
participate in any votes unless the issue directly affects the bank, at
which point they vote "no" and preserve the status quo.
