(2)that the association has the power to convert the private residential leasehold community, once acquired by the homeowners, to a condominium, a cooperative, or other type of ownership.
b. Upon acquisition of the property, the association shall be the entity that creates a condominium, or offers condominium parcels for sale or lease in the ordinary course of business, or, if the homeowners choose a different form of ownership, the entity that owns the record interest in the property and is responsible for the operation of property; provided, however, that if the association converts the private residential leasehold community to a cooperative, an election shall be held within 30 days following the establishment of the cooperative to elect a board of directors of the cooperative.
