The following procedures have been adopted by The Trails Homeowners Association, Inc. ("Association") pursuant to the provisions of C.R.S. 38-33.3-209.5, at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors.

Purpose: To establish uniform procedures for the inspection and copying of Association records by Association Members; to establish the type of records kept by the Association or its agent; and to establish the cost of copying Association records. WHEREAS, the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act, in C.R.S. 38-33.3-317 gives all Members the right to examine and copy the financial and other records of the Association for a proper purpose.

      1. Articles of Incorporation, Declaration, Covenants and Bylaws.

      2. Resolutions adopted by the Board.

      3. The minutes of all Owners meetings and records of all actions taken by Owners without a meeting for the past three (3) years.

      7. All financial audits or reviews conducted pursuant to Section 38-33.3303(4)(b) during the immediately preceding three years.

  2. So the Association can have the desired books, records and personnel available, a written Notice of Intent to Inspect must be submitted to the Association's Manager or to the Board of Directors at least five (5) business days prior to the planned inspection. The Notice must describe with reasonable particularity which records are to be inspected and the purpose of the inspection.

  3. All records shall be inspected at the principal office of the Association’s accountants, Post and Colombo Inc., located at 777 S. Wadsworth Blvd #2-209, Lakewood, CO 80226, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

  4. At the discretion of the Association's Manager, if any, certain records may only be inspected in the presence of a Board member or employee of the Manager. No records may be removed from the office without the express written consent of the Board of Directors. Further, if a Member requests to inspect records, the Association may photocopy and provide the requested records to the Member in lieu of the Member's inspection of the records if consented to by the Member.

  5. The Association may charge a fee, not to exceed the Association's actual cost per page for copies of the Association records.

  6. Consistent with individual Member's right to privacy, attorney-client confidentiality and other considerations, the following records will not be made available without the express written consent of the Board of Directors:

    1. Confidential personnel records.

    2. Confidential litigation files and matters covering consultation with legal counsel concerning disputes that are subject of pending or imminent court proceedings or are privileged or confidential between attorney and client.

    3. Files dealing with investigative proceedings concerning possible or actual criminal misconduct.

    4. Any matter the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of individual privacy.

    5. Inter-office memoranda, preliminary data, working papers and drafts, and general information or investigations which have not been formally approved by the Board of Directors.

  7. In determining whether records maybe inspected, the Association shall consider, among other things:

    1. Whether the request is made in good faith and for a proper purpose;

    2. Whether the records requested are relevant to the purpose of the request;

    3. Whether disclosure is for an illegal or improper purpose, or would violate a constitutional or statutory provision or public policy;

    4. and Whether disclosure may result in an invasion of personal privacy, breach of confidence or privileged information as set forth above.

  8. The Association reserves the right to pursue any individual for damages or injunctive relief or both, including reasonable attorneys fees, for abuse of these rights, including, but not limited to, use of any records for a purpose other than what is stated in the Notice of Intent to Inspect.
