Two other bylaw amendment proposals that were on the Bylaw Committee ballot that were voted on at the Feb Membership meeting, and equally as important was a conflict of interest bylaw with black and white description and enforcement language. It would make it very difficult or perhaps even impossible to have another situation like we had with the Crellys from happening again. Currently there is no real enforcement language and having it will make all the difference.
The other one would give members an easier opportunity to get the ball rolling on recalling their directors. Right now the bylaws say it takes 200 signatures and the bylaw amendment proposes 100 petition signatures to start a recall ballot on a director. There's been a lot of discussion lately by members who want to get rid of their director and this will definitely make that process a lot simpler.
Of course in the end, it all rests on whether we get at least 600 returned votes from the entire membership by ballot vote, and 2/3's are affirmative. Then the bylaw becomes active immediately after the count of the ballots is confirmed.
