There are some folks who think no motion is actually required. They think a board member could say something like this in an email to all board members: "Here is a statement of the board position on the referendum. Read it, and if there are no objections it will be our formal position."

I am of the mind that there should be a motion/second/discussion and vote -- even if done via email or phone.

Daly claims there was a motion and vote. I asked the board weeks ago. Zero response from anyone.

That aside, there is no question that if an action is taken outside a meeting, it must be reported in the minutes of the next board meeting. The board failed to do so as far as I can tell.

This board treats our governing documents and Maryland law as optional advice.
