[continuation of Article Three Section 6] to the contrary, at such new meeting or meetings (if additional meetings are necessary in order to obtain the reduced quorum as hereinafter provided), the presence in person or representation by written proxy of the members holding at least one-third (1/3) of the voting interest of the Association shall be requisite to and shall constitute a quorum at such new meeting or meetings; it being intended that, in the event a majority quorum cannot be obtained at any meeting of the members, the quorum requirement be reduced for the purposes of the new meeting or meetings to which the original meeting is adjourned only. At such new meeting or meetings, if necessary, at which a quorum (at least one-third (1/3) of the voting interest of the Association present in person or represented by proxy) exists, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called. Although any proxy shall be valid at the original meeting and any lawful adjourned meeting or meetings thereof, the Condominium Act shall control (in the event it limits the validity of proxies as it presently does for a period no longer than ninety (90) days after the date of the first meeting for which it was given). F.S. 718.112(2)(b)2.
7 Vote Required to Transact Business: When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of the Unit Owners' total votes present in person or represented by written proxy at such meeting shall decide any question brought before the meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provisions of the statutes or the Declaration of Condominium or by these By-Laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provisions shall govern and control the voting on such issue.
8 Right to Vote and Designation of Voting Member: If a Condominium Unit is owned by one person, his right to vote shall be established by the recorded title to the Unit. If a Condominium Unit is owned by more than one person, the person entitled to cast the vote for the Unit shall be designated in a certificate, signed by all of the recorded Owners of the Unit and filed with the Secretary of the Association. If a Condominium Unit is owned by a corporation, the officer or employee thereof entitled to cast the vote of the Unit for the corporation shall be designated in a certificate for this purpose, signed by the President or Vice President, attested to by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the corporation and filed with the Secretary of the Association. The person designated in such certificate who is entitled to cast the vote for a Unit shall be known as the "voting member". If such a certificate is not on file with the Secretary of the Association for a Unit owned by more than one person or by a corporation, the vote of the Unit concerned shall not be considered in determining the requirement for a quorum, or for any purpose requiring the approval of a person entitled to cast the vote for the Unit, except if said Unit is owned by a husband and wife. Such certificates shall be valid until revoked or until superseded by a subsequent certificate, or until a change in the ownership of the Unit concerned. If a Condominium Unit is owned jointly by a husband and wife, the following three (3) provisions are applicable thereto:
(a) They may, but they shall not be required to, designate a voting member.
(b) If they do not designate a voting member, and if both are present at a meeting and are unable to concur in their decision upon any subject requiring a vote, they shall lose their right to vote on that subject at that meeting. (As provided herein, the vote of a Unit is not divisible.)
(c) Where they do not designate a voting member, and only one is present at a meeting, the person present may cast the Unit vote just as though he or she owned the Unit individually and without establishing the concurrence of the absent person.
