What is a 'meeting notice?'

I'm trying to figure out if notices for meetings have to be mailed or is posting on the wedsite and by the mailboxes enough. I'm in Arz. one topic said--

In Arizona, the state open meeting law states "Unless otherwise provided in the articles or bylaws of the association, for meetings of the board of directors that are held after the termination of declarant control of the association, notice to members of meetings of the board of directors shall be given at least forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting by newsletter, conspicuous posting or any other reasonable means as determined by the board of directors."

Is this state law? If so where can I find it? Is 'conspicuous'considered website & bulletin by mailboxes?

put it on the community bulletin board, at the gate or at the mailboxes, or anywhere else that's fairly open, conspicuous, etc..

You don't need to go to great lengths, you just can't hide it on the back of the meter behind the president's house in the alley.

Cherie,

I would assume "conspicuous" means in any location where they are likely to be easily seen by a majority of your homeowners.

DO NOT place meeting notices IN the mail boxes, or attach the notices to the boxes. That's a federal crime. I would suggest getting one of those portable folding message boards (one of those things that look like a saw horse when opened with a flat surface on each side for posting messages, or with surfaces that can be written on or to which plastic letters can be attached). If the mailboxes are centrally grouped, place one of these at each mailbox location, or, you can place one at each entrance to your development.

Cherie,

To end your confusion, despite what your CC&Rs may say, Arizona law requires that all Board meetings must be posted and open to the membership. The State law trumps your documents on this one.
