River Ridge HOA Board resignations have disrupted normal operations after four directors suddenly stepped down during a board meeting. The abrupt exit left the HOA without a quorum. Remaining members quickly appointed replacements to restore leadership and resume operations until regular elections in August.
River Ridge HOA Board Resignations Cause Operational Disruption
River Ridge HOA Board resignations occurred on April 9 when four of seven directors quit and exited a scheduled board meeting. Former board officers, including the president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, resigned after citing burnout and community challenges.
They explained that growing responsibilities, internal division, and limited support made their roles unsustainable. Their resignations left the board without a quorum, halting the association’s ability to conduct official business or approve financial decisions.
Only three directors remained, which fell short of the four-member quorum required under the HOA’s bylaws. The remaining directors consulted the HOA attorney to clarify whether they could legally appoint new board members.
Legal counsel confirmed that filling vacancies due to resignation is allowed, even without a quorum. This guidance enabled the three directors to hold a special meeting on April 23 to appoint four new board members.
New appointees include Al Freer, Brenda Knapp, Dianna Miller Denny, and Alvin Peyton. The restructured board now has a full slate of officers and can function properly until elections in August. Hill was named president, Martin vice president, Freer treasurer, and Knapp secretary.
All newly appointed members may choose to run for permanent election in August. Board members declined public comment regarding the internal issues that led to the resignations. HOA staff and new directors are currently addressing delays caused by the transition.
The start of the fiscal year has been marked by uncertainty, with some temporary office closures due to staffing shortages. The board canceled its May 10 meeting to allow more time for the new directors to settle into their responsibilities. Staff have asked residents for patience as the leadership transition continues and operations stabilize.
