Allegheny County HOAs are governed by the PA Uniform Planned Community Act (UPCA, 68 Pa.C.S. §5101 et seq.) for communities created after February 2, 1997, and the PA Uniform Condominium Act (68 Pa.C.S. §3101) for condos. UPCA §5308 governs executive board meetings requiring notice to unit owners, open meetings with limited executive session exceptions.
Under 68 Pa.C.S. §5308, executive board meetings must be open to unit owners except for specific executive session matters: personnel, pending litigation, contracts under negotiation, and violations hearings. Notice of meetings must be provided as specified in declaration/bylaws, typically posted and/or mailed. Annual meetings required under §5308(a). Board elections conducted under procedures in bylaws; cumulative voting permitted unless prohibited. Quorum requirements set by bylaws (typically 20-25% of voting interests). Minutes must be maintained and available for inspection under §5316. Emergency actions permitted with ratification at next meeting. Proxies generally valid unless limited by declaration.
Violations of UPCA meeting/procedure requirements: unit owner may seek injunctive relief and attorney's fees under §5311. Invalidation of actions taken at improper meetings possible.
