There have been questions concerning the quorum and voting requirements that were needed to pass the Deed Restrictions presented on October 15, 2021. Please see the data below for Guidance.

720.306 Meetings of members; voting and election procedures; amendments.—

(1) QUORUM; AMENDMENTS.—

(a) Unless a lower number is provided in the bylaws, the percentage of voting interests required to constitute a quorum at a meeting of the members shall be 30 percent of the total voting interests. Unless otherwise provided in this chapter or in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, decisions that require a vote of the members must be made by the concurrence of at least a majority of the voting interests present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting at which a quorum has been attained. A meeting of the members must be held at a location that is accessible to a physically handicapped person if requested by a physically handicapped person who has a right to attend the meeting.

 * Pine Ridge quorum is 20 percent per the Bylaws Article I, section 4 which reads: Quorum: Twenty percent (20%) of the Membership present in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum
at all meetings of the membership, including, but not limited to, the Annual Meeting.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the governing documents or required by law, and other than those matters set forth in paragraph (c), any governing document of an association may be amended by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the voting interests of the association. Within 30 days after recording an amendment to the governing documents, the association shall provide copies of the amendment to the members. However, if a copy of the proposed amendment is provided to the members before they vote on the amendment and the proposed amendment is not changed before the vote, the association, in lieu of providing a copy of the amendment, may provide notice to the members that the amendment was adopted, identifying the official book and page number or instrument number of the recorded amendment and that a copy of the amendment is available at no charge to the member upon written request to the association. The copies and notice described in this paragraph may be provided electronically to those owners who previously consented to receive notice electronically. The failure to timely provide notice of the recording of the amendment does not affect the validity or enforceability of the amendment.

* Pine Ridge Requirements to pass amendments under 11.02:

• The procedure for amending the restrictions shall include both of the following:

1. Any amendment shall be approved by a simple majority vote of the entire Board of Directors of the Pine Ridge Property Owners Association,

2. Any amendment so approved by the Board of Directors must be approved by a simple majority vote of Members who participate in the vote, after notice to all Members.

The Board of Directors approved the document to go out to the membership for a vote at their Special Board meeting held on July 14, 2021 at 3 PM. The Board voted unanimously.

Yesterdays Results: The quorum was met with 971 voters of those 4,857 who were eligible to vote and the document passed with 499 more votes positive in the Yes of members who participated in the vote.
