2024 annual meeting notice (opens in new tab)Elections & Quorum
The disclosed roster is a starting point. Election dates, terms, attendance and proxies are the records that let members verify representation.
Quick synopsis
01
Owners say they were given no apparent opportunity to nominate or elect directors. Homeowners have identified apparent differences between 2023–2026 Secretary of State filings and the Board roster identified in discovery. We request a year-by-year reconciliation of names, roles, effective dates and supporting resolutions.

02
Counsel says none of the last three annual member meetings met quorum, so no elections occurred, and there are no ballots or AGM minutes to produce. Bylaws quorum is 25%—22 of 88 eligible lot votes—with generally three-year terms; lawful holdovers may apply. This does not automatically make directors illegal.

We call for an immediate, properly noticed nomination period and free, fair director election, with independently documented vote counts, proxies and minutes.
Homeowner position
The question
What establishes each director’s election, appointment or holdover status—and how can the next member election be verified?
Members need a meaningful voice in who represents them. Knowing how votes, proxies and terms work makes it easier to participate constructively and ask for a verifiable election process.
Verified HOA disclosure
The Association says its last three annual meetings lacked quorum—and no director elections were held at those meetings.
Counsel discovery response excerpt supplied by homeowner
The Association has not achieved quorum at any of its last three annual meetings so no elections were held. As no official action could be taken and no election was held, there are no ballots or meeting minutes to produce.
Association counsel, discovery response (excerpt supplied by homeowner; full document not linked publicly)
This is the Association’s express account in counsel’s quoted response, supplied by a homeowner—not merely a homeowner allegation. The full correspondence is not independently uploaded or linked here. The excerpt may be corrected after checking the complete correspondence; it does not identify the calendar years of those three meetings. It is not a finding about attendance independently reconstructed from proxy and sign-in records.
Under Bylaws §3.5, member quorum is 25% of eligible membership voting power: 22 of 88 lot votes if all lots are eligible, counting attendance and valid proxies. Annual member-meeting quorum is not Board-meeting quorum: the Board’s separate majority requirement applies to its own meetings. No member elections at those three AGMs does not establish that all directors lack authority. Lawful holdover service or vacancy appointments may apply; original election dates, terms and resolutions are needed to assess each director’s status.
Counsel gives nonquorum as the explanation for having no AGM ballots or member-meeting minutes to produce. That does not establish that a meeting without quorum can have no minutes at all: records of attendance, the quorum determination and adjournment can still be relevant. Separately, the October 20 written discovery response says no responsive Board minutes from January 2023 onward were located after diligent search. These are different disclosures about different records.

§1.3 provides one vote per lot. The Class B developer-vote conversion is historical context, not an extra current homeowner vote.
§3.1 calls for an annual members’ meeting. §3.3 requires written annual notice at least 21 days before it, giving time and place. The express purpose requirement addresses special meetings; do not read it as an explicit annual-election agenda requirement.
§3.5 sets member quorum at one quarter of membership voting power. With all 88 lots eligible, that is 22 lot votes. Under §3.7, proxies must be filed with the Secretary before the meeting.
§4.1 calls for 3–5 directors, with size fixed by Board resolution. §4.2 provides plurality election by members: initial staggered 1-, 2- and 3-year terms, then regular 3-year terms. Under §4.4, vacancies not caused by member removal may be filled by a majority of remaining directors, only for the unexpired balance. An appointment is not a fresh regular election.

Association discovery response, October 20, 2026 (cited selectively as Association statements; not published) · private; not linked
Counsel expressly says the Association did not achieve quorum at any of its last three annual meetings. The exact excerpt appears above; it does not assign calendar years to those meetings.
Association counsel, discovery response (excerpt supplied by homeowner; full document not linked publicly) · full document private
Counsel states that no elections were held because member quorum was not achieved. This is not a statement that no director was ever elected or appointed through another procedure.
Association counsel, discovery response (excerpt supplied by homeowner; full document not linked publicly) · full document private
Counsel says there are no ballots or meeting minutes to produce for those meetings, offering nonquorum and no official action as the explanation. Whether attendance, proxy totals, quorum decisions and adjournments were recorded remains a question—not a conclusion that administrative records were impossible.
Association counsel, discovery response (excerpt supplied by homeowner; full document not linked publicly) · full document private
Under the Bylaws, members elect directors at the annual meeting: one vote per lot, a quorum of one quarter of the membership’s votes (22 of 88 lots), proxies filed with the Secretary beforehand, and a plurality winning. Regular terms are three years. The Board fills a vacancy only for the rest of an unexpired term.
Counsel’s excerpt says quorum was not achieved and no elections were held at the last three annual member meetings. The 2024, 2025 and 2026 notices use a standard agenda with no line for an election, candidacy or nominations. Owners say this left them no apparent chance to nominate candidates or vote for directors.
“We call for an immediate, properly noticed nomination period and free, fair director election, with independently documented vote counts, proxies and minutes.”
Georgia annual registrations list corporate officers (CEO, CFO, Secretary), not every member of the Board. Someone missing from an officer list may still have served as a director. Differences raise questions; they do not show a false filing or wrongdoing.
Homeowners have identified apparent differences between 2023–2026 Secretary of State filings and the Board roster identified in discovery. We request a year-by-year reconciliation of names, roles, effective dates and supporting resolutions.

Three current directors, one former director.
Until elections occur, we ask the sitting Board to defer discretionary new initiatives, new policies, material contracts and significant nonessential spending; continue essential operations, statutory duties, public safety and existing contractual obligations.
This is a request from homeowners, not a legal requirement. O.C.G.A. §14-3-805(d) allows a director whose term has expired to keep serving until a successor is elected and qualifies, so the Board is not legally barred from conducting new business.
The 2024, 2025 and 2026 notices use the same agenda format shown below, with the operations-review year corresponding to the notice year. None lists a director-election item. Each encourages proxies to help meet quorum; that encouragement does not establish attendance or prove a quorum failed.

2026 annual meeting notice (opens in new tab)The 2026 notice is dated September 24 for the October 24 meeting: 30 days. If actually served on September 24, that meets the Bylaws’ 21-day timing requirement. The open question is election notice and documentation, not a demonstrated timing defect.
An omitted election agenda item alone does not establish that a notice is legally invalid. Confirm the procedure and applicable requirements before any vote.
Counsel’s account establishes what the Association says about those three meetings, not the original election history of every director. Holdover service can be lawful, and vacancy appointments may cover an unexpired term. Neither possibility proves valid or invalid tenure without the records.
Request election and appointment dates, term records, certified attendance and proxy totals, quorum determinations and vacancy resolutions. Identify which three meetings counsel’s excerpt covers; do not infer their calendar years.
These are inspection requests, not a demand to publish everyone’s personal information. Individual member lists, signatures, ballots and proxy records may require restricted access or redaction. Full discovery documents are not linked or uploaded here; only attributed excerpts and summaries are shown.
General legal context, not legal advice or a finding of noncompliance. Check the current statutory text, corporate articles, amendments and applicable exceptions with a Georgia lawyer before a formal demand or meeting objection.
§14-3-804 sets the member-election baseline, subject to the articles and bylaws and statutory alternatives. §14-3-805 permits a director to continue after a term expires until a successor is chosen and qualifies, or the number of directors is reduced. A holdover is not inherently invalid; its existence does not supply missing election or appointment records.
§14-3-704 does not always require an annual or regular meeting notice to state every ordinary purpose. That is different from special-meeting notice and matters subject to additional notice requirements. Under §14-3-705, attendance may waive a notice objection unless a timely objection is made. Counsel should assess the governing documents, any amendments and the actual meeting activity before declaring a notice deficient.
The recorded amendment contains the Georgia Property Owners’ Association Act opt-in. The Act does not replace the nonprofit corporation rules for elections, terms and records. Its presence alone establishes neither a valid election nor an invalid Board action; read both frameworks with the recorded documents.

Draft motion 1
What this would accomplish: Sets out a practical, fair timetable for owners to nominate and elect directors for every seat that requires an election.
Counsel states the last three annual meetings had no quorum or election. This proposal sets a fair, practical path to open nominations and elections; it does not claim current directors are necessarily illegitimate.
