Can a board vote on an issue if all board members are not present?

It depends on the type of board meeting and its guidelines, as defined in your governing documents.
For example, if it is a special meeting called by board members and not by the president, only the items listed on the agenda can be voted on. If it is an open board meeting, then a majority of board members present may vote on an item. Perhaps board members vote and the president only votes when there is a tie, and so forth.
Not all governing documents are the same, so review yours to determine how to proceed with a vote when fewer than all board members are present.

Owners and board members don't agree?
Often owners and board members don't agree. Your governing documents that bind the conduct of the board and all the members of the association (owners) indicate in some way how issues are to be handled. Note that members (owners) elect board members, and there are some issues upon which only board members -- not owners -- vote. If owners want to overturn a board vote, your governing documents may describe a percentage of owners who can vote to overrule a board vote. Sometimes this is a simple majority, sometimes a plurality is required and other times a vote must be a 'super-majority'. Owners in opposition to a board vote can educate themselves about how to bring the issue back to the board meeting agenda and vote to overrule the board's vote.
How should a letter be written to board members who were absent from a meeting?
Whenever you write a letter to a member of a board of directors, you address the letter to the person at their last known address. If your board receives its mail through an association management firm, then that's the address you use. In your letter, state the purpose of the letter and ask for any action you're requesting. For example, if yours is an issue that you want the board to discuss in an open meeting, ask that the issue -- use a complete sentence -- be added to the agenda, and request that you be given time on the agenda to present your position. Finally, if you want the board to vote on the issue, you can request a board vote at the open meeting. Then, the issue, its discussion and the board vote will be included in the meeting minutes.

CAN family members be on the same condominium board?
Read your governing documents to determine the qualifications for sitting on the board. Usually, election to the board is reserved for unit owners, and each board member must own at least one unit. Ownership is represented by a 'name on the title or deed to the real property'. If each family member owns a unit, there may be no issue. If, however, the family members share the same unit, then the issue arises that each unit only has one vote, and this is true, too, of board members. Finally, it's a good idea for family members who qualify to vote individually to be able to demonstrate impartiality when voting in an association when/if multiple members occupy board seats.
