Important Reminder Regarding Public Records and Email Communications

Dear Residents and Members,

We would like to take a moment to provide helpful information regarding email communications with the University Park Recreation District.

Under Florida law, emails sent to members of the Board of Supervisors or District Management that relate to District business are considered public records. This applies to emails sent to individual board members, multiple board members, or District staff when discussing District matters.

As part of the District’s commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable laws:

  • Email communications may be subject to public records requests
  • Correspondence may be included in publicly available reports
  • Communications may be referenced during public Board of Supervisors meetings

We want to ensure all residents and members are aware when choosing how to communicate with the District.

We appreciate your time and attention, and thank you for helping us maintain transparency and good governance within our community.
