Betsy,

A new challenge for associations due to the

virus! I did find in the statutes that communication

via emails among board members

is ok but we cannot vote via emails. I cannot

find any Florida Statutes input regarding

electronic voting via Zoom, etc. for Board

meetings and for annual membership

meetings. What is your understanding?

— Evelyn

Evelyn:

Boards of directors may meet via speaker telephone

(which has also been determined by most

attorneys to be any type of videoconferencing).

Those meetings are given a 48-hour posted notice

and agenda designating a specific time and

place for the meeting. Board members call in to

a phone with a speaker or via computer. Owners

wishing to attend must go to that designated

place and listen to the board members’ meeting

and may make comments on designated agenda

items. Minutes are taken for the meeting noting

the motions and votes and any other directives.

Some communities/management companies

make videoconferencing available to owners

wishing to attend board meetings, but most

are not capable of the technology. Giving the

owners the opportunity to do so is a courtesy;

not required by law. The fact that board members

can see each other makes no difference.

The point is that owners attending can hear their

discussion. The statutes allow electronic voting

for owners’ meetings with a lot of requirements.

Most communities are not up to speed with

technology to accomplish electronic voting and

many owners don’t have computers. There are

several law firms that provide the electronic voting

for owners’ meetings as part of their retainer.

Betsy,

If the HOA declaration says that the

covenants auto renew for successive

periods of 10 years, do you still have to

record a Petition to Preserve? Or, if the

30 years has passed, have the covenants

expired and need to be revitalized?

— Kim

Kim:

According to Scott Wortman, Esq., those “auto-renewal

provisions don’t obviate the Association’s

obligation to “preserve” within 30 years,

or if beyond the 30-year mark, then revitalize.

Preservation can be done (assuming within the

30-year period) through a Board of Directors

vote/action alone, while Revitalization is much

more involved, requiring 51% of the membership

to formally approve.”

——Betsy

Betsy,

Thank you for responding to my email. I am

continuing to make some inquiries as to

the position that has opened up in my

community. In the event the CAM license

is required, I will proceed with acquiring it.

Thanks again for responding to my email.

— Phil

Phil:

Just remember, a CAM license is required by

statute if there are more than 10 units/homes

OR the budget is more than $100,000 AND you

are remunerated in any form in any amount. And

remuneration does not necessarily mean money!

——Betsy

Betsy,

I’d love to know where the statute is that

says HOA requests can be made “written” in

any manner, and the time frame the association

has to respond to a written request. I

only found Section 720.303(5)(a) The failure

of an association to provide access to the

records within 10 business days after receipt

of a written request submitted by certified

mail, return receipt requested, creates a

rebuttable presumption that the association

willfully failed to comply with this subsection.

This clause does not say “all requests” must

be by certified mail w/RRR; am I missing an

alternative way for members to request?

— Evelyn

Evelyn:

Only the homeowner association statute requires

certified mail, return receipt requested

(paragraph a). So, if it is a written request by

certified mail, return receipt requested, it has to

be a U.S. mail letter. The condo statute and coop

statutes do not. They just simply say written

request. If you look further at the statute, it allows

the board to create policies and procedures

for owners’ requests for access to records. And

be aware, this is statute is regarding owners’ requests

for access to official records. It doesn’t

have anything to do with just asking questions.

—— Betsy

• • • •

Hi Betsy,

I’ve read Section 720.306 too often and

now am totally confused about the number

of qualified voters required to amendment

governing documents. Is it – (a) two-thirds

of the total Membership, or (b) two-thirds

of those present at the meeting, or (c) a

majority of the voting interests present, in

person or by proxy, at a meeting?

— Lynn

Lynn:

Each (Declaration, Articles, Bylaws) of your documents

should have an amendment provision for

votes to amend that specific document. Check there

first, usually one of the last articles/paragraphs.

Generally, the statutory default (if your documents

are silent) is 2/3 of the entire membership.

—— Betsy

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS THROUGH

PREVENTATIVE ROOF MAINTENANCE

ROOFING

Your roof is your first defense against Florida’s extreme

weather and should always be maintained. A maintenance

program can help consistently address roof issues such as

leaks, missing shingles/tiles, or any rotten wood. With regular

preventative roof maintenance, spending can be minimized, as one

can address issues before they escalate in cost.

On average a roof can last up to 20 years before needing to be replaced,

however taking part in an annual roof maintenance program

can help prolong the lifespan of and optimize the integrity of your roof.

Our maintenance program at SCI Roofing is designed to offer consistent

and scheduled preventative maintenance. This includes inspections,

cleaning, leak repair and other minor repairs as needed. Since we

are checking in on your roof regularly, areas of concern can be caught

and corrected before they become serious problems. In addition, these

roofs are better prepared for the storm season.

Neglected roofs are prone to the most significant storm damage

during Florida’s volatile hurricane season. Older roof structures that

do not meet the current building codes and buildings without parapet

walls surrounding the roof are extremely vulnerable during high velocity

winds, making them susceptible to wind damage and water infiltration.

In such cases, SCI will often recommend a Spray Polyurethane

Foam (SPF) roof system, which can be applied as a new roof or over an

existing roof. SPF offers the highest wind uplift resistance rating as well

as the greatest insulating value; critical features in the Florida market!

SCI was South Florida’s pioneer of SPF roof system installations years

ago and continues to be the leading installer today.

With so many roofing companies in South Florida, how do you choose

the right contractor? Research and choosing local is

important. When a hurricane hits, many roofers

from out of state will be looking for work in South

Florida. These contractors have one thing in mind,

making fast money. Southern Coatings Inc. is one

of Broward’s oldest roofing companies and will be

there for you long after the storm is over!
