there are bigger questions than why like;
- how can this take place - how can the community ensure its representatives independence in the future, - what effect will this have on other elected representatives on the board
The Florida statute( https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/617.0808 ) referred to earlier says that If a director is elected by a class, chapter, or other organizational unit, or by region or other geographic grouping, the director may be removed only by the members of that class, chapter, unit, or grouping. Do they even have ability to remove the person in the first place given the action of the board why are they also determining the next steps in the replacing our representative.

It says a lot, but just what that is depends entirely on the context. And for community members who voted for him, that context could mean we
should
also no longer have confidence in him elsewhere in the projects, or in
the
board, or have no bearing on either thing whatsoever. Not knowing just means there's no indication what to trust.
I'd rather lose the trust and confidence in those 8 Board members than in him without knowing what was the cause for his disbarment. ;)
Maybe the Board by-laws have to be changed, too. Throwing out a community-elected member like this, without providing a reason, is no way to deal with the community who elected this member. It should be mandatory that the Board provides reasons together with the announcement to avoid exactly this kind of discussions and speculations, not a day (or more) later.
And as for no-cause disbarments for community-elected members in a community-driven environment - uhm... I don't need to delve into that, everyone can see the problem. The Board should just not be allowed to disbar community-elected members without a cause, as that undermines the authority of the community over those seats on the Board.
