Article IX - Access to Association Records

Section 9.01. Access to Corporate Records

Upon timely and reasonable written request, in a form and manner prescribed by the Association, members of the Association will be entitled to examination of Association records and information where the General Manager and the Association’s general counsel, or the Board of Directors agree that the request is in good faith, that the information requested and the purpose for which it is requested are materially germane to the requesting person’s status and interest as a member of the Association, where the furnishing of information will not be inimical to the Association’s best interest, and where the release of such information will not subject the Association to litigation or invade the privacy of any person.

The Association’s responses to requests from members for Association information shall be governed by the following rules and procedures:

  1. No requests for information shall be considered until the requesting member fills out and executes an information request form.
  2. The request form as executed will be reviewed as soon as possible by the General Manager who, before acting, shall consult with the Association’s general counsel. If both conclude that:
    1. the request is in good faith,
    2. the information requested and the purpose for which it is requested are materially germane to the requesting member’s status and interest as a member of the Association,
    3. furnishing the requested information will not be inimical to the Association’s best interests, and
    4. (4) the release of such information will not subject the Association to litigation or invade the privacy of any person, then a time and manner will be provided for making such information available during normal business hours.

If either or both disagree to the applicability of any of the foregoing factors, the matter will be referred to the Board of Directors for decision based upon those same factors.
