Mutual Water Company Open Meeting Act

 AB 240 establishes a new Mutual Water Company Open Meeting Act, to be codified in Corporations Code §§ 14305-14307. The Act applies to mutual water companies many of the requirements for open meetings and records that were previously applicable to homeowner associations under the Davis-Stirling Act. It applies only to mutual water companies that operate a public water system serving 15 or more customer connections.

Under the Act, a mutual water company board of directors must provide notice of a meeting to the members at least four days in advance, including the agenda. Any eligible person may attend a board meeting, including a teleconference meeting, upon providing 24 hours advance written notice. For this purpose, an “eligible person” means a member of the company, an occupant of a property served by the company, or an elected official of a city or county that represents persons that receive water service from the company. At a meeting, the board may not take action on any matter not on the agenda and must allow any eligible person to speak, although the board may adopt a reasonable time limit.
