the bod meeting minutes should reflect what the bod is discussing in regards to the community business -- if the bod is engaged in any actions or conversations that are they not able to be discussed in public then they are on a slippery slope AND SHOULD NOT ENGAGE IN THIS ACTIVITY -- the community business should never have to be done in secrecy except in closed sessions to discuss personnel matters ( IRONICALLY THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM PUBLICLY THREATENING WORKERS FOR NOT PERFORMING UP TO THEIR PERCEIVED STANDARDS OR PERCEPTION OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED EVEN THOUGH THEY AREN'T DIRECTLY SUPERVISING NOR MANAGING THESE WORKERS-- this could lead them to some real labor problems )
as a member i would not want nor expect nor condone the bod to engage in any activity or discussion that can be illegal or inappropriate or need to be done secretly--- openness is the best way to stay out of trouble with everyone including the community members--- if this bod feels it needs secrecy then it's time they get off the board before la gets into a legal mess

I think you got the wrong impression as to what a secure ID is used for. I don't believe our finances should not be floating around the Internet. Publicizing certain information may compromise the successful outcome of projects especially with the township. No one is suggesting the board is participating in covert and illegal operations and that it should be covered up. There is a reason Eagle Lake and other communities have a secure site, so no one sees their laundry. For instances, if some are late with dues and it's comes up during a board meeting there is no need to publically embarrass people by putting it in the minutes and then on the website. There needs to be some ethical discretion in what is published on a non-secure website vs what can be displayed on a secure site. A secure site should eliminate secrecy not promote it as you suggest.
