## What do you think? Question:

Can HOA board members meet privately and then ratify decision in an open meeting as a matter of standard procedure? Projects never seem to be discussed in an open forum (e.g., re-landscaping, a retaining wall, widening a driveway by taking some of the gardens away in front of units, etc.)
