No Recording and Reference to Children

Our community is in a lawsuit with one of our members.

Our Board called for a meeting, headed by our attorney, we had yesterday (7/15) In the Presidents email to the entire community (7/11) he stated: “ The board wants all to know that this meeting will NOT be recorded. Nor can it be recorded by anyone present.”

The antagonist, I have referenced in other threads, attended the meeting. The antagonist took notes as did others. That evening the antagonist published her personal summary of her meeting minutes. Basically violating many peoples trust.

In the meeting we discussed children being yelled at by the person in the community that is being sued for easement access. The antagonist asked for the names of the children. No one answered but one person eventually did saying, “last name”, girls. The antagonist wrote this in her email (names fictional): “ Antagonist asked which kids were sworn at? No parents spoke up, but John Ford volunteered that it was the Bentley kids that were sworn at. John said he had received a couple calls. Antagonist suggested he get it in writing. ”

I wrote the antagonist this email (only her): “RE: Your email. July 15, 23:20. “Meeting Notes Informational Meeting of 7/15/2024”

“The President specifically said no recording - July 11, 16:17, “Information”.. It wasn’t a secret meeting. Anyone in the community could attend. It was a forum, in my opinion, were people could speak confidentially amongst the group that did attend - off record.

Mentioning children in your document, albeit only their last name, was so wrong. What if someone gave you all the names of children as you requested? What if we had gotten into a detailed discussion? What if an off handed negative opinion of one of the children was said? Children, by name or description, have no place in any community documents. 

My opinion. You need to delete the wording that references children by identifiable traits - last name in this case.”  (END)

Most of my threads here deal with this caustic person. She is a licensed stock broker. Manages billions of dollars - yes, billions. Yet, stoops to utterly low behavior. I am sure she has a mental condition. I am no longer on the board but all the board members are my very good friends. I would like to give them advice.

Opinions please.

I think, Cathy, that the "antagonist" and the Owner being sued are two different people. MarkS' communication is sort of confusing.

I don't think children's name should be used, or, if fact, any names that come out at an Information Meeting.

The antagonist dd not "record" the meeting.

I think there're Ideas in MarkS' previous post about blocking the antagonist from sending emails to owners. This newest complaint is really no different Let her go door to door

Thank you KerryL1. Yes. The, “forum”, the antagonist operates in, is the easement suit. The antagonist supports the neighbors blocking of our easement. From this platform of being the neighbors sole supporter - she disparages people in the neighborhood using mass email. She is a very angry person that gets more and more angry as the easement blocker looses judgements.

I hope the name you used was fictitious vs. a real last name.

Fiction

The board is the client. The board has control of the privilege. The board can disclose whatever it wants to but the lawyer cannot.
