Board proposes using Facebook to satisfy a requirement of the Condominium Act

At the June 19 Resolution Conference, the Board proposed using Facebook to satisfy the requirements of the Condominium Act, § 55-79.75:1 — Distribution of information by members.

Specifically, they proposed using an "unofficial Facebook Group" administered by four Southampton homeowners. This seems reasonable provided a committee is assigned this task at a meeting of the Board of Directors. However, the "unofficial Facebook Group" is no longer available.

The Newsletter Committee could be renamed the Communications Committee, and like all committees it would have to comply with § 55-79.75 — Meetings of unit owners' associations and executive organ.

The Newsletter Committee is superfluous. Minutes of meetings, and communications from the management agent, tell homeowners all they need to know.
