Below is a helpful tip from the Davis-Stirling.com Newsletter by ADAMS | STIRLING PLC regarding recording HOA Board Meetings . . .
QUESTION: I suggested to our board that meetings be recorded and put on our portal so members not able to attend could review the proceedings. Our manager said that it is against Davis-Stirling to do so. Your comments would be welcome. –Jim N.
ANSWER: The Davis-Stirling Act does not prohibit the recording of meetings. Boards can record and post meetings if they so choose. Our firm advises against attendees recording meetings. Those who bring audio or video recorders to board meetings often do so because they are threatening litigation. It has a chilling effect on members who may be reluctant to speak for fear of being dragged into litigation or appearing on internet websites.
