Annual Meeting Minutes Availability

My HOA has refused to provide minutes from our Annual HOA meeting that include resident input. The Property Manager stated it is common practice to release the approved minutes at the next annual meeting one year later. This does not make sense to me or other people I have consulted.

Please confirm for me that Annual meeting minutes including homeowner input from the meeting should be available to homeowners and let me know how to get the Property Manager and the Board of Directors to provide these minutes in the next month or two (draft or approved versions.

Ken, It is not common practice in any HOA with which I have been associated. We post a draft of the annual members meeting minutes on the HOA website immediately after the meeting. The Board approves these minutes at their first Board meeting following the annual members meeting. It makes no sense to wait a year

KenD2.............Only the official minutes of business conducted at our annual meeting are printed...We do not include comments as a form of official minutes...Only actions that require a vote are printed...Hope this helps......LindaC

KenC2 - In my state and HOA, open meeting minutes from the previous open meeting must be approved at the first subsequent open meeting. If the same applies in your HOA, and if the BOD only holds one open meeting a year (at the annual meeting), than technically the BOD is in protocol.
