Zoom meetings

Can you tell me if there is a specific statute in Florida if an HOA is recording meetings via zoom they must post the recording and password as they would the minutes on the website so residents can review? Thanks

They must make minutes from the meeting but their is no requirement I am aware of to record the meeting.

Member Rights to Record: Under Florida Statute §720.306(10), homeowners have the right to audio or video record board meetings. The board may adopt reasonable rules governing the recording process, such as requiring advance notice or specifying the placement of recording devices

IMPORTANT:

FL is a two party consent State. This means, everyone involved in the conversation must agree to being taped.

see: 934.03 Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited

from that statute: (d) It is lawful under this section and ss. 934.04-934.09 for a person to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication when all of the parties to the communication have given prior consent to such interception.

Granted, FL statute does allow members to tape record a meeting of the Board or the general membership:

(10) RECORDING.—Any parcel owner may tape record or videotape meetings of the board of directors and meetings of the members. The board of directors of the association may adopt reasonable rules governing the taping of meetings of the board and the membership.

My research shows that you must disclose, prior to the start of the meeting, that the meeting is being recorded and make it obvious during the meeting that it is being done. In this way, there is no expectation of privacy because participants were informed ahead of time.

Smiley v. Florida

Agreeing with Dean on his last. ( and first) assertion.

So far as I j know, however, meeting minutes must be stored forever.
