Federal Open Meeting Laws The Federal Advisory Committee Act, which became law in 1972, applies to government committees that advise the President and executive agencies on specific matters. Most federal agencies are subject to the open meeting provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act, passed in 1976.
Open meetings mean that every part of a public meeting is required to be open to public observation. While many entities have a 'public comment' period, for the most part, members of the audience may not participate in the deliberations of the board without express invitation by the board.
Executive sessions are usually held before or after the open session, and should have their own HOA meeting minutes. But remember: all actions, regardless of the matter, must be taken during an open meeting. While open session minutes must be public, executive session minutes are confidential.
Arizona's Open Meeting Law. It is the public policy of this state that meetings of public bodies be conducted openly and that notices and agendas be provided for such meetings which contain such information as is reasonably necessary to inform the public of the matters to be discussed or decided.
Board meeting minutes are an objective record of what took place during a board meeting. The minutes are typically used for internal purposes like record-keeping and for posterity. Minutes can serve to inform future meetings and recall what was discussed, agreed upon or dismissed by a company's board members.
The open meeting law requires at least 24 hours notice of meetings to the members of the public body and the general public. A.R.S. § 38-431.02(C). Notice must be posted on the public body's website, unless otherwise permitted by statute.
Essentially, HOAs are not subject to open meeting law because they are private entities that do not fit the definition of “public body” in A.R.S. § 38-431. That being said, HOAs are still subject to some meeting requirements laid out in A.R.S. § 33-1804.
The basic features of meeting minutes are the date, time, location and attendees, followed by a record of the board's actions, including brief descriptions of any presentations or topics discussed, specific resolutions adopted, and finally, general resolutions.
