Text: MCCI raises four issues in its appeal: (1) the trial court erred in finding the trustees acted reasonably with respect to MCCI's request for funding; (2) the court erred in failing to remove Vos as a trustee; (3) the court should have removed Baldwin as a trustee because she delegated her responsibilities to Vos; and (4) the trial court should supervise the selection of an advisory board. The trustees filed a cross-appeal. They assert MCCI had no standing to challenge their actions. In addition, they contend the court should have found that MCCI's claim based on the trust's denial of funding was barred by the statute of limitations. Finally, the trust argues the court erred in ruling the trustees had abused their discretion in planning a second senior citizen center in Mitchellville. We will first consider the issue of standing, as it affects whether MCCI may properly maintain this suit. Because we conclude it only has standing to challenge the trustees' refusal to provide funding after they had promised to do so, we also address whether the trustees acted properly in their decision to withdraw the trust's financial support of the community center. Our resolution of these issues prevents the court from reaching the other issues raised on appeal or renders them moot.
