President's introductory Remarks

July 1, 2004 marks the beginning of a new chapter for homeowner associations. Effective July 1, the State of Florida has specified new rules for homeowner associations, based on recommendations by the Homeowner Association Task Force commissioned by Governor Jeb Bush in 2003, with other provisions provided by the state legislature. The law places new restrictions on the authority of neighborhood developers and associations, and allows homeowners a greater voice in the governance of their neighborhoods.
In my opinion, this new law is a step in the right direction of more participation by homeowners, more accountability by associations, and better overall relations within neighborhoods. Personally, I am pleased to embrace this new direction, consistent with Florida State statutes.
During New Business, I will introduce formal proposals concerning the conduct of meetings and the improved transparency of business dealings by the Association. For now, I would like to set the tone for this meeting by announcing these rules of conduct.
1. Since homeowner participation is now an integral part of regular meetings, Open Forum will be discontinued;
2. Any Board member or homeowner may speak during a meeting after first being recognized by the Chair (presiding Board member);
3. No Board member or homeowner may speak for more than three minutes at a time on any one point. If a topic is being debated, speakers on opposite sides of the issue will alternate speaking for 3 minutes at a time;
(Refer to 3-minute timer)
4. Discussions and decisions during a meeting are limited to the items on the agenda that is approved at the start of the meeting. New topics introduced during a meeting will be assigned to agendas for future meetings;
5. No personal attacks of any kind will be allowed by anyone, Board member or homeowner, during meetings. Persons issuing personal attacks may forfeit their right to complete their statements; and
6. No person may interrupt the person who is speaking, except that the Chair may interrupt to maintain order.
These rules are designed to ensure that we conduct our meetings fairly, openly, and without the kinds of distractive behaviors that cause tensions. We owe it to our neighborhood.
