Legitimate grievances can only be filed against the EPIC Board of Directors as an entity. The EPIC board of Directors will determine whether a grievance is legitimate, and reserves the right to reject a grievance if it fails to meet the criteria outlined below:

1. A grievance cannot be filed about the properly voted on or otherwise democratically determined decisions or outcomes by EPIC members or board of directors. The outcomes, procedures, policies, or bylaws themselves, and actions of the board to carry out the decisions of EPIC consistent with them are not grievable.
2. A grievance may be filed about a failure of the board of directors to follow the process, policy, procedures or bylaws of EPIC.
3. A grievance may be filed about a failure of the board of directors to properly manage the use of funds consistent with the standards, policies, procedures and bylaws of EPIC.
4. A grievance about transparency must refer to documented past actions of EPIC and the board of directors.
5. A grievance may not attempt to impose future direction, priorities, plans, budgets, or the responsibilities, which are properly addressed democratically by EPIC members and board of directors.
6. A grievance may not be filed about an individual board member.
7. Lack of engagement practices by the board is an acceptable complaint.
8. A grievance form and its policy will be available on the EPIC website.
9. The board has 45 days from receiving a grievance to respond to the complainant.
   
10. The board may create a grievance committee to investigate and review any complaint. The investigation will be submitted to the board for review.
11. If the complaint is in violation of the City of Minneapolis funding guidelines any decision of a complaint may be appealed to the Neighborhood and Community Relations Department.
