Community Announcement 08-2020

Greetings Ellingsworth HOA neighbors

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Ellingsworth Board of Directors (BOD) has decided to delay the 2020 Annual Meeting (previously held in September) until the end of October. We are doing this in accordance with governing statutes afforded by the State of Florida’s ongoing COVID-19 Emergency Management and with legal counsel’s recommendation.
With the guidance of our legal counsel and management company, we are exploring the voting process options for election of new BOD officers. Currently, we anticipate some form of mail-in voting. Once the voting approach is adopted, we will provide another update to residents and create the mailings for the election and call for candidates.

As per the amended Declarations we adopted in 2019, there are a total of 5 Director positions on our BOD that are intended to serve two years each. Additionally, the seats were set to serve on an alternating 2-year basis so that some experience was maintained on the BOD as potentially new Directors were elected each year.
Currently we have 3 positions that are on a 2-year cycle and those seats will be open in 2021. The remaining 2 positions had been set on a 1-year timeline to establish the alternating 2-year cycle set forth in the amendment. These 2 seats are open for vote in October 2020 and, once filled, will serve a term until the election at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The remaining 3 seats that are not open for the election this year will continue to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting. All current Board Members will continue to function in their official capacity until the Annual Meeting in October.

More updates to follow soon. Stay safe!
