Special Notice

At the regular monthly meeting in November Bill Purcell proposed a change to the bylaws. For this to happen here is the excerpt from our Bylaws...  

 

ARTICLE XV-Amendments:

Article XV Section A:

This Constitution may be amended by a two thirds (2/3) majority vote of the eligible voting members present at a regular monthly meeting or a special meeting called for that purpose provided proposals for amendments have been made available to all eligible voting members at least ten days prior to the meeting in a public manner by publication on the club website, by email, or traditional mail for those not having internet access.

Article XV Section B:

A quorum for purpose of adoption of any amendments to this Constitution or By-Laws requires at least one third (1/3) eligible voting members and either the President or Vice President to be present.

Article XV Section C:

Written absentee ballots may be sent to the Vice President prior to the meeting to be held and counted along with those present at the meeting.

 Here is the experpt from the November minutes

  Bill Purcell also asked that the Club consider the possibility of changing the Bylaws to allow, either by check or electronic bill pay, the Treasurer to write checks up to $200 without requiring two officer signatures. David Keene asked if he wanted to make that in the form of a motion. Bill said he wanted to draft the motion. His resolution reads: 

Resolved: FCARC Bylaws be amended to permit electronic bill pay up to a $200.⁰⁰ maximum. 

Let it be further resolved that checks for $200.⁰⁰ or less require only one officer signature.

All disbursements (electronic or paper check) exceeding $200.00 will still require the signature of two club officers.

 

The Bylaws presently say:

 

Article XIV Section D:

Withdrawals from any club account shall require the signature of any two of the four authorized officers; President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer.

         This proposed amendment change will be voted on at

 the January meeting. At least one third or our present voting

members must be present.

 If you have not paid your dues for 2012 and want to vote on

this matter dues will be accepted anytime before the vote.
