Thank you for acknowledging a director's absolute right to inspect any document under Corporations Code Section 6334. Because the volume of documents may be too great for any one person to inspect, Mr. Sakowicz may be accompanied by an agent or attorney to assist him. Since any given record will be inspected by the director or his attorney/agent, he will be in compliance with Section 6311 regarding such assistance. Further, any non-disclosure agreement must be limited to records that cannot otherwise be inspected by members, i.e., "personnel records and other items that would violate the privacy of a specific individual or are otherwise protected under Federal or California law." The Code does not require anyone to sign a blanket non-disclosure agreement as a condition for inspecting records, nor will they.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5007" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5009" clear="none">3.

The alternatives you have offered to Messrs. Collins and O'Brien concerning their prior demands to inspect the membership rolls are unreasonable and too expensive. They are based on an incorrect reading of a statute that bars releasing such information to third parties. Members are not third parties. In any event, prior efforts and negotiations are not a waiver of a member's right to inspect.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5027" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5029" clear="none">The efforts of Messrs. Sakowicz, Collins, and O'Brien to try to resolve the current crisis at MCPB/KZYX through negotiation with the board and discussion with the membership are not signs of bad faith but rather an attempt to avoid litigation. Do not confuse patience and reason with weakness and ill-will.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5031" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5033" clear="none">6. We see no need at this time to delay the inspection. As noted above, the failure to have all records available by July 11 does not relieve you of the duty to allow inspection of those records that are available at that time. If for any reason certain records are not available that the director or members believe are essential, then arrangements can be made to inspect them at a later time. Asking us to wait until four weeks after some unspecified date is too uncertain. However, we will consider a later date once the full board has met and considered this reply.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5035" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5037" clear="none">7. As noted above, you do not need to produce the same documents to Mr. Sakowicz twice. But the Demand Letter is more comprehensive and includes demands for inspection by members, demands which stand alone. There is no "condition precedent" that must be met before MCPB complies with the current demand.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5039" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5041" clear="none">8. Because Mr. Sakowicz has an absolute right of inspection as a director, his intentions are not an issue. The only time intent is an issue is if you believe that the members' demand for access to membership information under Sections 6330 is for reasons not related to their interests as members. If you believe so, then your remedy, as noted above, is to file a petition with the Superior Court to have that particular demand set aside. But the members do have a legitimate reason for their demand, as stated in the Demand Letter:<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5043" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5045" clear="none">"The purpose of the demand by the members is to review all financial transactions and data, and all membership and voting records and data, from the year prior to the employment of the current general manager, Mr. John Coate, up to and including the date of inspection, as there has been inadequate oversight by the board of directors concerning finances, memberships, and elections during his tenure. The membership has a legitimate interest in the financial affairs of the corporation and the integrity of the voting rolls and election process."<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5047" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5049" clear="none">9. Thank you for your willingness to consider the proposals set forth by Mr. O'Brien, one of the Demand Letter signers. If you adopt those specific proposals before July 10, he will drop his demand for inspection of the membership rolls, and will encourage the other signers to do likewise. However, this will have no effect on the demand to inspect and possibly copy all other records, including financial. Mr. O'Brien looks forward to working with the new Committee on Bylaws and Policies. MCPB policies authorize the Board of Directors to name volunteer members to board committees. The Board should consider naming some of the signers to certain committees - e.g., Mr. McKenty to the Finance Committee - as a way of engaging with the membership, promoting transparency of governance, and avoiding the need for future inspection demands.<br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5051" clear="none"><br class="yiv9352814668" id="yiv9352814668yui_3_16_0_1_1441732117362_5053" clear="none">Thank you again for you detailed response. Please make sure that the full board has time to consider this reply before it meets next Monday. We hope that the full board will acknowledge our right of inspection and take positive steps to address the underlying concerns. If it does, we will consider a delay. If not, then we will be at the main office on July 11 to proceed with the inspection.
