Condo Q&A

Association board president not following bylaws and providing docs

Written by stephen polinsky | Wed, Nov 2, 2011 @ 12:20 PM

Our Board is reviewing a budget for 2012 with our Annual meeting set for Jan 2012. FS 718.112 Bylaws Section 8,(e). Budget meeting states that "Any meeting at which a proposed annual budget of an association will be considered by the board or owners..." has to be conducted with 14 days notice and a copy of the proposed budget needs to be supplied. Our President refused to provide a copy of the proposed budget to any owner before or even after the meeting. He claims the Board has the right to "not" provide the proposed budget for owners to review before the Board is ready for it to be released. Is this a correct interpretation of the Statute?
