Violation Hearing and Reports

If the minutes have information on individual homeowner's payment status, I'd say it's a bad idea to post on the website. See this topic:

Topic is "Posting Delinquent Homeownwers"

Here's one of our replies to it:

I did a quick Google search and Brian's point is relevant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Have a look at a summary here:
http://www.chamberofcommerce.com/Public/index.cfm?objectid=CA5BAEEA-1422-74FF-329949F4AB06A117

Assuming this website is correct, it says:
"... your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

What debts are covered?
Personal, family, and household debts are covered under the Act. "

"What types of debt collection practices are prohibited?
...debt collectors may not: publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay their debts (except to a credit bureau);"

This is why Boards must be very careful and get competent legal advice when dealing with collections. There is a labyrinth of laws and they favor, guess who? ... the debtor, not the collector. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law and of course the states have their own additions. This is a good reason to turn collections over to a good collection company, management company or attorney.
