I sent this email to the board on 2/16/2025, got no response from the board. Miraculously on 02/21/2025 minutes appeared for two alleged meetings that happened on 11/5/2020. Don’t be fooled these official documents were not present prior to 2/16/2025!!!
Also interesting to note, as of 2/17/2025 there are no board meeting minutes posted for the entire year of 2018. Why have they been removed? Finally as of 2/17/2025, the most recent financial statement posted is from October 2024. Is that a reasonable amount of time?
From the situation above, was there a properly held meeting to elect Robin to the board in November 2020???? Was the membership notified that the board would be electing a new president? Then this “elected” president enters the association into a major contract with absolutely ZERO discussion and ZERO due diligence? Does this make anyone else angry especially considering that anyone in the community I speak with has a negative opinion of APM and as evidenced by the pictures on this site, there seems to be a lack of proper maintenance being done?
Finally, here is what Florida statue say about board meetings, you decide if Robin was appropriately elected in November 2020: (recall from our own bylaws that a director has to be appointed at a board meeting)
Florida Statute 720.303
“(a) A meeting of the board of directors of an association occurs whenever a quorum of the board gathers to conduct association business. Meetings of the board must be open to all members, except for meetings between the board and its attorney with respect to proposed or pending litigation where the contents of the discussion would otherwise be governed by the attorney-client privilege. A meeting of the board must be held at a location that is accessible to a physically handicapped person if requested by a physically handicapped person who has a right to attend the meeting. The provisions of this subsection shall also apply to the meetings of any committee or other similar body when a final decision will be made regarding the expenditure of association funds and to meetings of any body vested with the power to approve or disapprove architectural decisions with respect to a specific parcel of residential property owned by a member of the community.
(b) 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.
(c) The bylaws shall provide the following for giving notice to parcel owners and members of all board meetings and, if they do not do so, shall be deemed to include the following:
1. Notices of all board meetings must specifically identify agenda items for the meetings and must be posted in a conspicuous place in the community at least 48 hours in advance of a meeting, except in an emergency.
