We have allowed members to speak under a heading "for the good of the community" but do not include them in the minutes, no decisions are made, just questions if we can address it in the future. The Board is being asked to include this statements in the minutes. Does Roberts Rules address minutes and what must be reported? We are located in the state of Florida.

Florida Statute 720.303 (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.

 1. Notices of all board meetings must specifically identify agenda items for the meetings

Can a treasurer be a member of the budget committee?

When nominated for the Board of Directors from the floor is a second required?

I must apologize, I did not make a clear statements. I am referring to an amendment that was given to the board on or before the 2nd Friday in November, as required by our rules. But the submitter wants to amend the original amendment. According to RONR is there a TIME limit?

We follow RONR at our meetings, We have always been able to amend our amendments up until the time they are placed on the floor for a vote. the Board wants to restrict us to submitting any changes 30 days befoer the annual meeting. can they do this?

our homeowners board wants to limit our amendments, and if we want to submit more than 2 we would be charge for each over 2. is this covered in RONR?

If a Chairman's resignation has not been accepted by the board of directors, and they appoint a new chairman to that committee without accepting the resignation what is the protocol?

These are amendments to our documents adding or deleting a section of our governing documents. this would be done at our annual meeting of members voting to accept or reject the amendments. My question is: when two amendments are about the same section, and both parties want the amendment offered for a vote. If both are voted to be accepted. Does the 2nd amendment replace the first amendment?  Noting the wording is different.

I would like to change my amendment to include the first one voted on, but don't know until the vote if the membership wants the first one. I feel that the best action would be to request permission from the membership to make the change. 

Let me explain our procedure we start our annual meeting then the agenda is approved after that the amendments are brought up each Amendment is placed on the floor for discussion, then a vote is done.. My question is this year we have several amendments that's going into the same section of our documents so if one is approved 2 is not 3 is approved then three would cancel out number one because it wasn't in number three. My question is can a person who submits an amendment make Corrections or changes to the amendment before it is placed on the floor for discussion?

Can an agenda item be tabled until the next meeting?

It was a members request not a board member, our documents state members can place request for the next board meeting so they can address the board.

thank you, they just went on to the next agenda item with out any answer. I feel you gave me my answer.

If a member request for an item to be placed on the agenda, at the next board meeting. The item is placed on the agenda. The member is requesting permission to use part of the Common Ground for personal reason, does the board have to answer the request? Either with a approval, denial, or table the item. This is an HOA, I own the common area along with over 200 other owners,  the Board has control.

THANK YOU

our documents read as follows:

1. a motion to elect that candidate by acclamation is permitted as long as there are no objections. We have had the secretary do this unless, it is the secretary  that is to be elected

2. vote for candidates are to be by secret ballots.

question, the board wants to have someone move to allow this and wants a second to the motion. then a show of hands, I say it must be done by secret ballot since it is for candidates.
