DUCIOA requires open, noticed meetings and gives owners a right to inspect association records. Meetings need 10-60 days' notice, owners get a chance to comment, voting and proxies are governed by § 81-310, and records are accessible on short written notice for a proper purpose.
An association meeting must be held at least once a year (25 Del. C. § 81-308), with notice "not fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days in advance," and owners "shall be given a reasonable opportunity at any meeting to offer comments." Executive board meetings are addressed in § 81-308A; voting and proxies in § 81-310. For records, § 81-318 states that records "shall be available for examination and copying by a unit owner ... so long as the request is made in good faith and for a proper purpose," upon short written notice, and any copy fee "may not exceed the actual cost of the materials and labor." Sensitive items (personnel, litigation, attorney-client, other owners' files) are exempt.
DUCIOA sets no specific monetary penalty for board procedural failures; owners typically enforce open-meeting, voting, and records rights through internal remedies or by court action to compel compliance.
