(b) (1) If a board meeting is an emergency meeting held pursuant to Section 4923, the association is not required to give notice of the time and place of the meeting.

Full Breakdown

Anaheim has many HOA-governed communities including Anaheim Hills, Platinum Triangle condos, and planned developments. These associations are governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act at California Civil Code 4000 and following. Board meetings must be open to members with at least four days advance notice of regular meetings and two days notice of executive sessions. Agendas must be posted and boards generally cannot take action on items not listed on the agenda. Executive sessions are limited to litigation, member discipline, personnel, contracts under negotiation, and certain foreclosure matters. Minutes of open meetings must be available to members within 30 days. Members have the right to speak during member comment periods. Emergency meetings can be called without notice only for true emergencies documented in minutes. Annual meetings and elections follow separate election rules with inspectors of elections and secret ballots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my Anaheim Hills HOA board meet in secret?
Only in executive session for narrow topics like litigation or discipline. General business must be in open session.
What if the board votes on something not on the agenda?
Such action violates Davis-Stirling and can be challenged or reversed by members.
