Meeting Agenda Requirement?
Hi Dennis,
Is there a law or requirement of when an agenda is to be presented to a community with regards to an Open Meeting? Meaning is it required to be given X days in advance or is the law as generic as “as long as the meeting is displayed at the time of the meeting then the law is met”?
Often we get Open Meeting notifications without any notice of what it is about. Simply a time and date; that’s it.
Thanks!

Lori,
Unfortunately, the law does not currently require that the association provide the agenda to board meeting prior to the meeting, I’ll be working on changing that to require the agenda to be provided along with the notice of the meeting 48 hours prior to the meeting. Currently the law requires that the association provide any member present at the meeting an agenda for that meeting. That is a little late for those people that had no idea what the board was planning to discuss. This is again an example of a commonsense issue where it simply makes sense that an association would provide its members the agenda for the meeting to help those members decide if they should attend or not. There is a difference between what any community should do to conduct its business for the community and what it must do under the law.
