California HOA Board Meeting Kit — Notice, Agenda, Minutes, Executive Session & Resolution | Open Meeting Act | Editable Word

The paperwork your California board needs every month — built around the Open Meeting Act, which is stricter than most boards realize.

WHAT YOU GET (8 templates in one file)

- Notice of Board Meeting (4-day general notice)

- Notice of Executive Session (2-day notice)

- Notice of Emergency Meeting

- Board Meeting Agenda (with non-agenda-item limits built in)

- Board Meeting Minutes (with motions & votes table)

- Executive Session Minutes + the required report-out at the next open meeting

- Board Resolution (general purpose)

- Member Comment Sign-Up Sheet

Plus a plain-English "How to Use" page covering the rules boards most often break.

THREE THINGS CALIFORNIA BOARDS GET WRONG

1. Notice is 4 days for a board meeting — but only 2 days if the meeting is held solely in executive session.

2. The board generally cannot discuss or act on anything not on the posted agenda.

3. Directors cannot decide association business outside a noticed meeting — which means voting by email or text is improper except in a true emergency.

This kit is built so your documents reflect all three.

WHO IT'S FOR

Self-managed California HOA boards, secretaries, and community association managers who want consistent, compliant meeting records all year.
