Governing document purports to authorize the Board of Directors to take official Board action outside of a noticed meeting by written consent signed by the directors, conflicting with the open-meeting sunshine mandate of Fla. Stat. § 720.303(2)(a)-(b).
Operative Clause · Sec. 4. (Page 6)
“Any action so approved shall have the same effect as though taken at a meeting of the directors.”
Why It’s Flagged
Fla. Stat. § 720.303(2)(a)-(b)
While general nonprofit corporations under Fla. Stat. § 617.0821 may act by unanimous written consent unless prohibited, Fla. Stat. § 720.303(2)(a)-(b) overrides general corporate law for Florida community associations by requiring that all Board meetings be open to all members with at least 48 hours' posted notice and owner right to speak on all agenda items.
Taking formal Board action by written consent in the absence of a noticed meeting deprives owners of their statutory right to attend and speak before Board votes.
