September 2003

Some major points of discussion

Developer Steve Jellicorse

The secretary was absent for most of this portion of the meeting.  No minutes were taken.  Steve Jellicorse brought drawings of proposed changes to Boylan Avenue properties near Dorothea Drive.

Bylaws

An explanation was provided of what had occurred at the August meeting with respect to proposed changes to the bylaws.  There was general discussion from the floor in favor and in opposition to the actions.

The chair was asked (point of order) if the August votes would stand in light of current bylaws provisions on the method for changing the bylaws.  The chair ruled that the votes would stand.  The ruling on the point of order was appealed and seconded.  The vote on the appeal was 13 to 13 and failed to pass with a simple majority.

There was a great deal more general discussion on the bylaws, proposed changes and procedures of the Association including the minutes, the newsletter and how meetings are run.

A motion was made to waive the provision of the bylaws that requires a vote at two consecutive meetings to approve changes to the bylaws.  This motion was seconded and passed unanimously by voice vote.
