Reform how vacant board positions are filled
The Issue
Important only one property owner per lot/household can sign!
In our community, participating in the governance process isn't just a privilege; it's our right. When a board member's position becomes vacant, it's crucial that community members have a say in who fills that role. However, the current system doesn't always allow that. This leaves our community members feeling left out, disconnected, and unheard.
Right now, if a board position becomes vacant, the remaining board members have the power to appoint someone to the position without holding a special election. This process deprives community members of their fundamental right to vote and be part of selecting leadership that represents us.
It's important for us to propose an update to our blue book governing rules, specifically to mandate that a special election be held whenever a board position is vacated. This change is not just procedural; it's foundational to restoring the faith and trust of the community in our local governance.
Statistics show that communities that actively involve their members in electoral processes have higher rates of community engagement and satisfaction. An inclusive election process ensures more diverse and representative leadership, potentially leading to better decision-making that reflects the true needs of our community.
Furthermore, having a special election brings transparency and accountability. Elected officials are more likely to act in the best interests of the community when they feel a sense of responsibility to those who voted them in.
It's time for change. Let's advocate for updating our blue book rules to ensure a democratic and inclusive process whenever a board position becomes vacant. By uniting as a community and demanding this adjustment, we not only uplift our voices but also set a precedent for equitable participation in our local governance.
Please join me in calling for this change. Sign this petition to demand a special election for filling any vacant board positions in our community.
