was it a meeting?

it sounds an awful lot like one.

KellyC3 - It was a meeting of the Board, and management. Depending on what was discussed, it may or may not need to be open to the community. Since the attorney was present there's a strong possibility that matters discussed were sensitive in nature and those types of meetings are typically considered executive BOD meetings and closed. If the matters discussed required a BOD vote, you should expect those matters to be voted upon in an open meeting in a timely fashion.

Kelly,
There are still too many unknowns to make a good statement here. Did you read the agenda that should have been on the meeting post? What was the purpose of the meeting?

Now I don't know what is happening in your community, I can swear for sure that meeting postings do dissapear, get blown off by the wind, forget to be posted and all kinds of lame excuses so I don't know why the posting was not posted in all areas as this was a Master meeting.

And if you read Fl. Statutes on meeting postings, it does not specify how many places that it must be hung but as long as it was there in clear view just once, it is still within the limits. Do you have electronic postings? E-Mails?

It was open to the public..... The question is should minutes have been taken and since none were is it legal.

Kelly,

Do you know for sure that no minutes were taken because you stated that the P.M was at the meeting and that is their job. What was the purpose of the meeting? It should have been on the agenda.

We are gated and our HOA owns our road we have our own set of docs... We pay two association fees, monthly (ours)annually (master)for use of amenities.

There was NO agenda.
The only sign out of three signs for the area was posted inside the most remote communtiy. Their signs are made like a realtor metal sign (just like ours) the other two signs were used for a ARC meeting the day before.

Purpose.... Our amenities have become liabilities, our master was in the red in September and 30 days behind on bill, Special assessed (they have No cap in their docs on $$$ for Special Assessment, nor do their docs require vote for Special Assessment. Increase Annual fees,etc.. Our HOA and residents have been requesting since February of last year that they look at conveying the "recreational amenities" to our CDD. More $$$ and they have the ability for 100% collection.
The meeting was supposed to be for a vote of the board for it to go to vote of the residents (per docs) and the CDD represenative as well a resident from a community that lives in a development where the CDD takes care of the amenities, was there to give pro's and con's.

There are roughly 500 homes in our development there are probably 20 people that are on the web site. A newsletter went out stating there would be a meeting in January date unknown. The area where they posted the sign 1 mile from the traffic of the other communities and at the dead end of the main road. If you dont live there, there is no reason for you to travel down there.

We are included in theirs (per docs), they are NOT included in ours (per docs)they contribute nothing to the upkeep and maintenance or $$$ of our sub. We pay into theirs.
