Summaries of all discussion points. Details of all activities completed or agreed upon. Results of any votes or motions.
At a minimum, minutes should include: Name and kind of meeting. Date, place, and time that the meeting began and ended. Names of the chair and secretary or their substitute. Names of voting members attending and whether a quorum was present. Names of guests and their subject matter.

The county your association is located in should have a record of your HOA's governing documents. All HOAs should be registered with the Florida Department of State Divisions of Corporations.

Florida is known as a two-party consent state. This means that, under state law, all parties involved in private conversations must consent to that conversation being recorded. This differs from one-party consent states, where private conversations may be recorded as long as one involved party consents.
The HOA board should distribute the meeting minutes to all members within 30 days of the meeting. This is a general rule, though some state laws and your HOA's governing documents may have other requirements.
