Part III: The 411 on Arizona’s Open Meeting Law

Arizona Open Meeting Law on “Executive Sessions”

By now you should be caught up to speed on the Arizona Open Meeting Law and why it is beneficial for HOA’s.
We have one last issue to cover, which are “Executive Sessions.”

Can my HOA close a portion of the meeting to members?

The answer is “Yes.” An Executive Session closes the meeting to members but ONLY to discuss the following:
  • Legal advice from an attorney for the board or HOA.
  • Personal, health, and financial information about an individual member of the association, an individual employee of the association, or individual employee of a contractor for the association.
  • Pending or contemplated litigation
  • Matters relating to job performance, compensation of, health records, or specific complaints about an employee of the association, or employee of a contractor for the association (who works under direction of the HOA).
  • Discussion of a member’s appeal of any violation cited or penalty imposed by the HOA.
We hope you found the series on the Arizona Open Meeting Law informative. Please share your knowledge about this important topic with your members.
And thank you Mulcahy Law Firm for contributing to this article!
