Q: I sit on a self-governed homeowners association board. During a meeting, we opened three sealed bids for a capital expenditure for more than $50,000. According to how the new rules were interpreted, we were told the options were to vote immediately to choose one bid, or reject the bids. If the board rejected all of the bids, new bids would have to be submitted for consideration. I cannot believe that this rule was enacted to have boards make quick decisions. I believe the law changed so bids would be opened in a public forum to stop boards from doing anything unethical (such as a bribe), not to force quick decisions on major expenses.
