Draft -will add more here

Position Duties Author Perspective
Have to see if there is any definitions in the governing documents - dont remember seeing any. There are general website that explain these roles and I may use that to define the duties but will caveat that it is not this HOA defined https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2018/720.303 Florida Senate - Association powers and duties; meetings of board; official records; budgets; financial reporting; association funds; recalls.

The DRC shall consist of at least three person who shall serve and may be removed and replaced in the Board’s discretion. DRC members need not be Owners or representatives of Owners.

Unless and until such time the Founder delegates all or portion of its reserved rights to the DRC or expiration or termination of the Development and Sale Period, the Association shall have no jurisdiction over architectural matters. Supposedly there are people assigned to a committe - there are no public records of this group - no way to determine who is doing this function.
