All states do have laws governing the operation of condominium and homeowner associations - BUT - the laws of all states are different. You will have to check the wording of the California statute to determine if they can legally withhold the minutes of executive sessions.
Another answer:
Usually executive board sessions are used by boards to discuss private, confidential issues, such as delinquent owners, employee payroll raises and so forth. The results of these discussions may evidence themselves in open board meetings.
For example, the board will announce a raise for Bob, the resident manager. It's not important that the membership know the value of Bob's raise -- which was discussed in executive session. An owner is delinquent in paying their assessments, and the open meeting minutes may indicate that there are owners in this state. However, their names may not be published, since it's not important that the membership know who they are. (The finance committee may identify delinquent owners by unit number, but this is also confidential information.)
If the board makes decisions in executive sessions that you believe should be discussed in open board meetings, you can send a letter to the board requesting that the matter be discussed openly in an open board meeting. Then, attend the board meeting and discuss the issue: the discussion becomes publically available in open board meeting minutes.

Can a quorum of the condo board have a budget committee meeting and not make it a regular posted board meeting?
Committee meetings and board meetings serve two different, though related purposes. The short answer is 'yes', a committee meeting is not a regular posted board meeting. Committee meetings are working meetings where there is no vote, only a discussion of options, presentation of research results. Usually one board member leads a committee and the remaining participants can be owners/ non-board members. Committees present their conclusions and recommendations to the board at board meetings. No minutes are required. Board meetings, unless they are executive or confidential meetings, are generally open for attendance by all members. Your governing documents specify the attendance, notification, agenda and minutes process for open board meetings.
