At our community, the president of HOA, has hired himself to address pool maintenance. Some of us feel that he is overcharging. Would it be legal
for an owner to request pool contractors to come out and give estimates?
If your HOA is under FS 720, then the Board is required to allot time during, after or before board meetings for owners to speak. This is when you can make your request.
From FS 720
Members have the right to attend all meetings of the board. The right to attend such meetings includes the right to speak at such meetings with reference to all designated items. The association may adopt written reasonable rules expanding the right of members to speak and governing the frequency, duration, and other manner of member statements, which rules must be consistent with this paragraph and may include a sign-up sheet for members wishing to speak. Notwithstanding any other law, meetings between the board or a committee and the association’s attorney to discuss proposed or pending litigation or meetings of the board held for the purpose of discussing personnel matters are not required to be open to the members other than directors. FS 718 (for condos) may have similar wording. You did not indicate which you were (condo or HOA). In the future, please do so. The answers you get subsequently will likely be more helpful if people know whether this is a COA or HOA.
