Different states have different laws about recording public meetings. Check your state laws to verify that it is legal, generally with an announcement, to record public meetings.
If a board member does not want to be recorded, it is reasonable that you would honor this request. However, if business being conducted is material to your ownership and investment in the HOA, it is unreasonable that you would be denied the right to record the meeting.
When a board member does not want to be recorded, perhaps the board member would not speak during the meeting, or would recuse him/her-self from the meeting.
Requesting not to be recorded during a public business meeting could be considered an abuse of power.
