Nonprofit board minutes not public
The Commonwealth Court ruled that: (1) meeting minutes for the board of directors of a private non-profit are not public records under the Right to Know Law even though a government official appointed a member to the board; (2) a second request for the same records is not a disruptive request under the law, even if an agency faces budgetary constraints and the request consumes attorney and staff time; and (3) the Office of Open Records should have conducted a hearing to determine whether records were protected by the law’s exemption for confidential proprietary information.
