Josh Martin Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:27 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:27 AM But do I have to let them view the minutes when they ask to?Yes. Any member of an assembly has a right to view the minutes of that assembly.Is there a reason you think the member does not have the right to view the minutes? Is there any additional information you think may be relevant to the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Cisar Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:32 AM But do I have to let them view the minutes when they ask to?Yes, but at a reasonable time and place. If your schedules do not coincide, you need to reach a compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roberts, Rodney Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:39 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 at 02:39 AM Six of the Sevan Board members met at the Presidents house with the member about a storage container that the member has on thier lot, and all six of us agreed that if she would make the container look like a shed we would be ok with it. Then we later asked her to give us a letter of veriance so it would be above board and all, she did this then at the regular meeting we voted against her.

Chris Harrison Posted July 13, 2011 at 03:45 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 at 03:45 AM Evan if Our BI- Laws state that the members can get copies of the minutes and financial upon request?Ah...the details keep on dribbling out. If your bylaws require that members get copies of the minutes upon request then as far as RONR is concerned (since bylaws are higher ranking than RONR) the member should be getting a copy of the minutes since they were requested.

At this point, I'm puzzled as to why you asked the question in the first place, since it appears the answer was right in your Bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, he's looking for a second opinion. Unfortunately, the second, third, and fourth answers will all agree with the initial one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sentence is legitimate opinion; the third is close to inarguable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sentence is legitimate opinion; the third is close to inarguable.)The second sentence was intended to expound upon the first. It wasn't meant to stand alone. However, I think it stands alone just fine, because whenever a person has a first opinion and asks the same question of a different source, I would say he is looking for a second opinion (and to be clear, looking for a second opinion doesn't mean looking for an opposing or more desirable opinion-- it just means a second one).
