California's Davis-Stirling Act governs all HOA board procedures. Board meetings require at least 4 days' notice to members (Civ Code §4920) and must be held in open session except for legal, personnel, third-party contracts, member discipline, or foreclosure matters (Civ Code §4935). Agendas must be posted. Members have the right to attend and speak. Executive session minutes must be noted generally in open session minutes. Annual meetings with director elections follow secret ballot and Inspector of Elections procedures (Civ Code §5100 et seq.). Boards must provide meeting minutes within 30 days (Civ Code §4950) and many records within 10 business days of a written request (Civ Code §5200). Violations of open meeting rules may be challenged in small claims court for up to $500 per violation (Civ Code §4955). Folsom master-planned HOAs like Empire Ranch and Broadstone follow these rules.
Open meeting violation: up to $500 per violation in small claims (Civ Code §4955). Failure to produce records: $500 plus actual damages (Civ Code §5235).
