The Role of the Voting Delegate
A Voting Delegate is defined as "the representative selected by the Members within each Neighborhood to be responsible for casting all votes attributable to Units in the Neighborhood on matters requiring a vote of the membership." (This definition also applies to the Alternate Voting Delegate acting in the absence of the Delegate.) Section 1.45 - Declaration.
According to Section 3.4 (b) of the Declaration, a Delegate is responsible for casting all votes attributable to Units owned by Members of the Neighborhood on all Association matters requiring a membership vote.
Whenever there is a vote to be taken requiring membership approval, the Association is to distribute proxies to all Members allowing each Member to direct in writing how their vote is to be cast by the Delegate who represents him/her. The Delegate is required to cast all votes for which specific proxies are returned to them; all other votes are cast by the Delegate as he/she deems appropriate in their sole discretion.
Any delegate may be removed, with or without cause, upon the vote or written petition of Owners of a majority of the total number of units in the neighborhood that the delegate represents.
Any delegate (or alternate delegate) shall be automatically removed and ineligible to cast the votes attributable to their neighborhood if any assessment for such Delegate is delinquent.
In accordance with 3.4 of the Bylaws, the responsibilities of the Voting Delegate would include the election of the Directors to the Board.
In view of these duties, it is proposed that the role of the Voting Delegate be designated as follows (not listed in order of importance).
- Serve as neighborhood point of contact for the Association, answering questions about protocol for various procedures established by the Association, assisting residents within their neighborhood to understand their responsibilities as a Member, and promoting a neighborhood effort to uphold the community's standards.
- Participate in the election of Members to the Board of Directors who represent the best interest of the community at large.
- Solicit feedback from Members within their neighborhood on behalf of the Board of Directors regarding specific inquiries being considered, establishing a medium of communication with Members within their neighborhood and providing a summary of the feedback received to the Board (or Management, as directed) in a timely manner.
- Serve as a representative for individuals within their neighborhood to promote resolution of alleged covenant violation issues. It is not the Delegate's responsibility to argue on behalf of the Member's position, but rather support the intention of reaching resolution in a fair and equitable manner for the overall good of the neighborhood and providing perspective of the impact of the alleged violations on the neighborhood as a whole as well as the community as a whole.
- To assist the Board and/or Management with the distribution of information within the Neighborhood as called upon.
- To promote committee participation by Members within their neighborhood to support the overall purpose of the Association by encouraging Members to contribute their skills for the benefit of the community, getting to know the Members within their neighborhood well enough to identify specific skills when needed.
- To solicit and communicate phone numbers and email addresses of Members and residents within their neighborhood to Management to maximize the communication of the Association.
- To promote involvement in community activities, being a positive example of promoting community spirit.
- To participate in called meetings of the Board of Directors and Voting Delegates (i.e. Annual Goal Setting, strategy/planning meetings) to provide greater breadth of input for Board consideration and greater effectiveness.
- To participate in the Annual Meeting of the Membership, casting the votes of the Members within his/her neighborhood as directed and casting all remaining votes in his/her best judgment, and being actively involved in the duties and responsibilities of the Association.
