What must a member do to challenge a decision made during a board meeting?

To challenge a decision made during a board meeting, a member typically needs to motion for a review. This process allows the member to formally propose that the board re-examine or reconsider a specific decision, providing the opportunity for discussion and possibly a vote on the matter.

This mechanism is important in maintaining transparency and accountability within the board, ensuring that decisions can be debated and reevaluated based on new information or concerns raised by the community’s members.

While other options might seem relevant—such as requesting a recount of votes or submitting a written complaint—these avenues do not necessarily facilitate an immediate or formal challenge to the board’s decision in the way that a motion for review does. Similarly, calling for a special meeting may be useful for discussing broader issues but does not inherently challenge a specific board decision directly during the meeting. Thus, the motion for a review stands out as the appropriate action for a member looking to contest or seek clarification on a board decision.
