Emailing Board Members!!

I am new... and curious for advice on a few levels.

We as a whole get along but as with every hoa there are those of us who look at thing differently! We recently had a discussion in our open meeting that was clearly outlined in our minutes.

The minutes were approved and mailed out.

There was a homeowner who was angry about an issue and rightfully so. We approved something without proper investigation. I actually was the one notified.

I forwarded the email as and FYI about the erroneous decision and spoke to the homeowner directly to thank him for his email and assured this would be discussed at the next meeting.

This was the end of it or so I thought. One board member emailed us all with some stuff that he knows who originally suggested the improper action. It won't make a difference legally as he did approve the minutes. In the legal world we live in, this is called CYA. But when minutes are approved doesn't that more or less say that "you agree" that this is accurate?

No; "approval" means only a confirmation of what was done at the meeting. the Board is affirming that those are the facts of the meeting.

***I meant to say that when we approve minutes that we are stating that the minutes reflect what was said. The homeowner after approving them was going against his original approval. For what I feel was legal CYA. Our whole board was not knowlegable to this, and it's ok. We can ammend actions as you said.
