Summary
In Florida, cooperative laws generally require board approval for expenditures, but specifics depend on the cooperatives governing documents. Confidentiality of board discussions outside meetings is also governed by these documents. The Community Association Manager (CAM) typically needs board approval for spending. If unauthorized spending occurs, review the bylaws, gather evidence, and notify the board. Florida Statutes, Chapter 719, addresses cooperative housing but does not explicitly cover confidentiality of discussions outside meetings.Full Conversation
