Simultaneously, the board shall set a date not less than 10 days or more than 60 days after providing the summary for a meeting of the unit owners to consider ratification of the budget. Unless at that meeting [2/3] with at least 1/2 of all unit owners present for the meeting or by proxy, or any larger number specified in the declaration or bylaws, the unit owners or their proxies reject the budget by a majority vote, the budget is ratified[, whether or not a quorum is present].
