HOA Board removes ARC member who is spouse

Our FL HOA Board removed an ARC member because she is a spouse of a Board director. The President said it was against the law.

I'm reading in Chapter 720.306/9 (a) that all members of Assoc are eligible for the board.
There is nothing addressing committees in the statutes and by-laws.

Is he right? I can see where there would be a conflict of interest regarding a vote where both would benefit....then they could not vote on that issue.

thanks for any help.

Of course committee members serve at the pleasure of the Board and can be removed/replaced at the Boards pleasure.

BUT...is it against the statutes to have both serve? Like he said.
That is the question.
I know they can be removed by the Board but I can't find the/his 'law' in the statute.

You know what...we are getting to that point. Asking for proof almost everyone time they open their mouths.

After removing that one person who was the spouse they removed the remaining two and now the Board IS the ARC.

They do not know what they do not know!

What an adventure to retire in Florida!

Are you kidding?

Have you ever served on a Florida HOA board? I served 2 terms as Pres...4 terms on the board....ending 2006.
I am still trying to keep up with the procedures. What worked then doesn't mean it will now.

That is why everyone needs to write their Fl State Senator about the HOA Reform Bill ( S580 and S596 ) that is going to be addressed this week. HOA's in FL need consistency like the Condo laws.
check it out.

Currently Fl720 only addresses the make up of a Fining Committee. In that case members may not be realted or married to a BOD member.

So it is not against Fl laws. Check your HOA docs. but doubtful you'll find any restrictions there either.

As others have said the BOD controls the committees.

Neither of those bills you frequently refer to would address the issues you have brought up here lately. In fact parts of 580 have failed to pass before.
