Summary

(1) Existing law provides for the creation of common interest developments and requires that a common interest development be managed by an association that may or may not be incorporated. Existing law prescribes requirements for meetings of the board of directors of the association that manages the development, and requires notice of the time and place of a meeting of the board of directors to be given to the members of the association at least 4 days prior to the meeting, except as specified. This bill would require notice for a meeting that will be held solely in executive session to be given to members of the association at least 2 days prior to the meeting, except as specified. The bill would provide that, if a member consents, notice may be given to the member electronically, and would also delete provisions that generally allow the board of directors to consider any proper matter at a meeting even if it has not been noticed as an action item for the meeting. This bill would permit meetings of the board of directors of a common interest development association to be conducted by teleconference, as specified, by revising the definition of a meeting for these purposes. The bill would require that a teleconference meeting be conducted in a manner that protects the rights of members of the association and otherwise complies with other requirements governing common interest developments. The bill would also require that the notice of a teleconference meeting identify at least one physical location so that members of the association may attend and would require that at least one member of the board of directors be present at that location. The bill would prohibit the board of directors from taking action on any item of business outside of a meeting. The bill would prohibit the board from conducting a meeting via a series of electronic transmissions, such as electronic mail, except to conduct an emergency meeting, as specified. The bill would establish a definition of an item of business. (2) Existing law requires an association to make available specified association records, but excludes from those requirements agendas for meetings of the board of directors that are held in executive session. This bill would delete this exclusion, and would therefore require an association to make available agendas for meetings held in executive session.
