Ohio's Planned Community Law governs association governance in R.C. 5312.03-5312.07. R.C. 5312.04 covers election of officers, board powers, and meetings, and notably lets the board exclude non-director owners from board deliberations. R.C. 5312.07 gives owners a right to examine the association's books, records, and minutes, subject to reasonable limits.
R.C. 5312.04 requires the board to elect officers (president, secretary, treasurer, and others) from its members, lets the board "act in all instances on behalf of" the association, and requires an annual owners' meeting (outside declarant control). Boards may meet electronically and act by unanimous written consent. Significantly, "no owner other than a director may attend or participate in any discussion or deliberation of a meeting of the board of directors unless the board expressly authorizes" it, so Ohio does not mandate open board meetings. R.C. 5312.07 provides that any owner "may examine and copy the books, records, and minutes" under reasonable standards, while letting the board withhold limited categories such as attorney-client communications and personnel matters.
No specific statutory penalty. Ohio's Planned Community Law fixes no monetary penalty for governance violations; an owner denied records under R.C. 5312.07 or harmed by improper board action would seek a court order (injunctive relief or compelled inspection).
