You did it! Thanks to your many emails and calls, International Village Board of Directors President Marvin Tow has agreed to cancel the planned Thursday morning meeting to fill the vacancy created by Sunday’s resignation of former Board member Sharon Treppicione. The meeting has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. so that working unit owners who wish to attend may take part in the proceedings. I want to thank all of you who took the time to contact Board members to tell us how you feel. And I also want to give Marvin credit for listening and doing the right thing.
Now any unit owner who is interested in the position will have the opportunity to submit his or her name for consideration by the Board, and Board members will have the time to interview candidates and make an informed decision. For the list of Board member emails, click here.
According to Florida statutes, the Board also has the option to schedule an election by the unit owners to fill the seat.
I would appreciate your feedback as to how you feel we should proceed.
This is wonderful news. Personally, I feel that the right thing to do is to do one of two things.
ReplyDeleteEither take the next person who took the time to run for the BOD and had the next highest votes.
Or
Hold an election and let those who truely have an interest run for the BOD. This also allows all owners the right to vote for whom they would like to see fill this vacancy.
This would be the right thing to do.
Otherwise they are just showing they are Hypocrits, after all each one of them felt it was wrong to appoint someone to the BOD and each of them at one time or another suggested this be the case of how a vacant seat should be handled.
Lets see if they are going to be Hypocrits or do the right thing.
I agree with the person above. They should take the person who ran for the BOD this last time and had the next highest number of votes. It would be fair and would also eliminate the need to hold another election.
