Until a board is replaced, it continues to carry out its duties as a board of directors. This means the board continues to pay bills, hold meetings, and make decisions affecting the association. It also means the board appoints an inspector of elections,
sends out ballots, and conducts the special meeting for the recall. The meeting itself is chaired by the
president.
Chair Not Determined by Petition. By statute ,the only authority given to petitioners is to call a meeting, not name who runs the meeting. (
Corp. Code ยง7510(e).) Accordingly, the president of the association chairs the meeting or someone other than the president as may be determined by the board.
