Q: How much must a board disclose?
My HOA board is intentionally not sending out e-mails about car accidents due to speed, parking lot and cars driving int mailboxes (we have 1099 homes and a 62 people who attended a board meeting were cryptically told)? They also collect data on how many cars travel 10MPH over the speed limit yet do not emphasize that speeders should slow down. When they did people slowed, when they don't speed increases. They attend the Safety and Security meeting and know that the published meeting minutes are wrong and incomplete and do nothing about it. They withhold and censor information about residence and car break-ins and do nothing to stop pedestrians from entering the premises who are not residents or guests. This gives us all a sense false security and safety. They warn us about garbage, dog poop, vegetation and dirty driveways.
A:
A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There is no universal answer to your question. It could depend on the bylaws and rules. But as a general matter, you're not talking about a public agency dealing with highway safety data - HOAs can vary widely from one to the other as to how they are run. Good luck
