There's no easy way according to Roberts Rules of Order, to rescind a vote by a director.

According to Wikipedia, and Roberts Rules of Order Newly Revised:

"...the requirements for changing a previous action are greater than those for taking the action in the first place. A motion to rescind, repeal or annul or amend something already adopted, for instance, requires a two-thirds vote, a majority with previous notice, or a majority of the entire membership."

Best practices dictate that the vote be called again so that the director has an opportunity to vote 'the other way', but with clear procedural guidelines being acknowledged and followed.

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.
