(2) The executive board shall not act on behalf of the association to amend the declaration, to terminate the condominium, or to elect members of the executive board or determine the qualifications, powers, and duties, or terms of office of executive board members, but the executive board may fill vacancies in its membership for the unexpired portion of any term.
(3) If the executive board adopts a budget for the condominium, the board shall:
(a) Provide a summary of the budget to all unit owners within thirty (30) days after the adoption; and

The budget shall be deemed ratified, whether or not a quorum is present, unless at that meeting a majority of all the unit owners, or any larger vote specified in the declaration, reject the budget. If the budget is rejected, the periodic budget last ratified by the unit owners shall be continued until such time as a subsequent budget is adopted by the executive board in conformity with this subsection.

units which may be created to unit owners other than a declarant, at least one (1) member and not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the members of the executive board shall be elected by unit owners other than the declarant.

The executive board shall elect the officers. The executive board members and officers shall take office upon election.
