Are Architectural Review Boards subject to State of Florida law?


Question:

Are ARBs (Architectural Review Boards) subject to the Florida Sunshine Law? The State of Florida website states the following: The Government-in-the-Sunshine Law applies to "any board or commission of any state agency or authority or of any agency or authority of any county, municipal corporation or political subdivision." Thus, it applies to public bodies within the state at both the local as well as state level. It applies equally to elected or appointed boards or commissions. Based on this, I assume that ARBs in Florida are NOT covered, because although they are a "Board" they are not appointed by government officials. Thank you.
