HOA boards in Moreno Valley's many planned communities operate under California's Davis-Stirling Act (Civil Code 4000 et seq.). Boards must hold open meetings, post agendas 4 days in advance, and keep minutes.
Moreno Valley contains numerous master-planned communities and condominium projects (Moreno Valley Ranch, Hidden Springs, Sunnymead HOAs, and many townhome/condo associations) governed by the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act. Under Civil Code sections 4900 through 4955 (the Open Meeting Act), HOA board meetings must be open to members, with agendas posted at least four days in advance in locations accessible to all members including online. Executive sessions are permitted only for litigation, contract negotiation, personnel, and member discipline. Boards must take minutes and make them available to members within 30 days of approval. Elections of directors must follow secret-ballot procedures under Civil Code 5100 et seq. with an independent inspector of elections. Annual budgets, reserve studies, and policy statements must be distributed to members on the statutory schedule. Violations of open-meeting or election rules can be enforced through small claims court for statutory penalties or through superior court injunction and attorney-fee shifting for prevailing members.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Moreno Valley code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
