Any meeting of three or more of the members of the
Board is considered a Board meeting. Notice of all Board meetings must, per Florida State Statutes and our
Bylaws, be publically posted, e.g. on signs at
the gates of SL and IE at least 48 hours prior to the start of these meetings.
Without proper posting of notice to the membership,
a meeting of the Board of Directors is not a legal meeting and no votes, determinations or decisions made at such meetings
are considered legal and binding.
An alternate to this, noted in the State Statutes, is
that each of the association members be mailed a notice of a meeting at least 7 days prior to the meeting (this very expensive
option is wisely not used by our association).
An exception to this would be if there were an actual emergency, i.e.,
eminent loss of life or property, occuring. If there needs to be an emergent decision by the Board of Directors
(to save life or property in less than 48 hours), an emergency meeting may be called without 48 notice to the community.
Otherwise, per State Statutes and our Bylaws, proper notice to the community is required
for all board meetings.
