Delight Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does a procedure exist to dismiss a committee member.? Assume that if a committee vote was legal then that person would go. Also assume that persuasion will not work. All the regular options ie Murder ;Setting the person up in a compromising sexual situation -have been considered and dismissed--- too much potential negative feedback. Any ideas will be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave111223 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Wait for the next committee election, and either make sure they get no votes, or read the condo bylaws and there may be conditions that their application doesn't meet (ie must have no criminal record, and the person does, so their application is rejected). Getting rid of them before the end of their term would be very difficult i can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripley Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 You don't mention - is the problem based on personality issues, or behavioural ones? I know of a committee that got proof of misbehaviour of a member, confronted him, got him to write a letter of apology to the owners & to resign.

I know of a committee that got proof of misbehavior of a member, confronted him, got him to write a letter of apology to the owners & to resign. You ask: is the problem based on personality issues, or behavioral ones? I find it difficult to separate one from the other. I explain: All the evidence suggests that his motive for being a committee is to talk -endlessly about himself. He ignores the requests from me (chair) and all to other members to keep his remarks on track . He contributes nothing in terms of ideas Typically at voting time he will abstain -which can put pressure on me to cast a deciding vote. In other he words he impedes the process.My 'quiet private words' to him have changed nothing. So he needs to go -that is the opinion from the rest of the committee The question is how can be persuaded to go In truth I suspect that he will just go of his own accord-Even he will eventually be overwhelmed with boredom So in truth my request for help was probably just academic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such actions should be reserved for committee members who are truly problematic (ie involved in illegal activities, stealing for the building, threatening people etc...) "He talks about himself a lot" would certainly not make that list. Surely him choosing not to vote on issues is a benefit to you; if i was him i'd start using my vote to do the exact opposite of your vote every time just to wind you up further.

That answers my original post-Thanks Surely him choosing not to vote on issues is a benefit to you; Given that the committee has 5 members I fail to understand the benefit to me if i was him i'd start using my vote to do the exact opposite of your vote every time just to wind you up further.
