Committee meetings

I'm a member of a four person committee to go over the revisions our attorney has made to our outdated documents, which will ultimately be voted on by the members at our next annual meeting. The committee has two board members on it and two people who are not board members. We meet in private homes, since our community has no common facilities - when we have a board meeting we have to rent a room from a local club.

We'd like to present our revisions and the rationale behind them to the entire board and are wondering if we're permitted to have a working meeting with them, without the members present, or it the presence of the entire board
makes this a meeting that is governed by FL 720: BOARD MEETINGS.--A meeting of the board of directors of an association occurs whenever a quorum of the board gathers to conduct association business. All meetings of the board must be open to all members except for meetings between the board and its attorney with respect to proposed or pending litigation where the contents of the discussion would otherwise be governed by the attorney-client privilege.

Pamela, I would ask the BOD to call a 'special meeting' to review the proposed changes to your documents and nothing else could be discussed.

Pamela,

The Statutes require a 14 day notice with copy of any proposed changes being in the hands of the members prior to a vote. I am sure that you know that but it is an important part to any changes in parcel use.

Board meeting to adopt rules regarding unit or parcel use 14 days mailed (along with a copy of the proposed rule) and posted 14 days mailed (along with a copy of the proposed rule) and posted

Thanks for all your responses. You've all confirmed what I know to be true, but sometimes you can hope!
