[CCWG-ACCT] Clarification

[Burr, Becky]

Steve Del Bianco asked if I meant to imply that you would have to go to an IRP first if the Board decided to ignore a community budget veto.  My response below:

Depends a little on the details, e.g. Whether IRP exhaustion was required, etc., how easy it is to secure injunctive relief through IRP vs court. My real point is that in a membership structure the board would be legally bound to respect community veto, so unless you anticipate a lawless board, they would respect the veto. Without the membership structure the board has a legal obligation to exercise its fiduciary obligations and look behind the advisory veto.  Assuming good faith all around, the membership structure actually reduces the likelihood of litigation
