Board Meeting Notice

Question: "What kind of notice must we give before we have a Homeowners Association
meeting?"

First, Civil Code § 1363.05(f) defines a "meeting" as;

" any congregation of a majority of the members of the board at the same time and place to hear, discuss, or deliberate upon any item of business scheduled to be heard by the board, except those matters that may be discussed in executive session."

Association members must be given notice of when and where a meeting is going to be held. The governing documents (bylaws) of the community may specify when and where the meetings will be held. If not, Civil Code § 1363.05(g) states that notice will be given at least four days prior to the meeting, unless the meeting is an emergency. The code section goes on to say;

"Notice shall be given by posting the notice in a prominent place or places within the common area and by mail to any owner who had requested notification of board meetings by mail, at the address requested by the owner. Notice may also be given, by mail or delivery of the notice to each unit in the development or by newsletter or similar means of communication."
