Recalled board member's recourse
Challenging the validity of the recall

Question 1:
Could you provide me the latest requirements regarding firefighters' service on elevators and insurance deductible notification meetings?
Question 2:
The board meeting at which the board is going to decide on the insurance deductible requires a 14 day written notice just like a board meeting at which the board is going to adopt a budget. - C. Johnson
