opportunity to be heard, to levy and collect reasonable fines 
from members or unit owners for violations of the declaration,

unit owner's financial obligation to the association, 
including fees charged by a manager or managing agent, shall 
be added to and deemed a part of a member's or unit owner's 
respective share of the common expenses unless: (i) the 
managing agent fees relate to the costs to collect common 
expenses for the association; (ii) the fees are set forth in a 
contract between the managing agent and the association; and 
(iii) the authority to add the management fees to a member's or

        ballots and proxies related thereto, if any, for any 
        election held for the board and for any other matters 
        voted on by the members, which shall be maintained for

            (v) With a written statement of a proper purpose, 
        such other records of the board as are available for 
        inspection by members of a not-for-profit corporation 
        pursuant to Section 107.75 of the General Not For 
        Profit Corporation Act of 1986  shall be maintained.

    is made in writing to the board or its agent, failure to 
    provide the requested record or to respond within 30 days 
    shall be deemed a denial by the board.
        (3) A reasonable fee may be charged by the board for 
    the cost of retrieving and copying records properly 
    requested.
        (4) If the board fails to provide records properly 
    requested under paragraph (1) of this subsection (i) 
    within the time period provided in that paragraph (1), the 
    member may seek appropriate relief and shall be entitled 
    to an award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs if the 
    member prevails and the court finds that such failure is 
    due to the acts or omissions of the board of managers or 
    the board of directors.

representative capacity in relation to matters involving the 
common areas or more than one unit, on behalf of the members or

township or road district, to furnish materials related to the 
maintenance or repair of roads. Any such purchases shall be 
included in the board's finance report as outlined in Section 
1-45.
