Proposed By-Law Change: Larry reviewed the proposed by-law change that Kasey Huhta, Rec Center Manager, suggested regarding the dollar amount for replacement equipment which would require a vote by the club membership.
A discussion took place and it was agreed that $2500 would be the amount required for membership vote for both replacement equipment and the purchase of new equipment.
A motion was made by Marty, seconded by Sarge, to amend the club by-laws as follows. All were in favor, the motion passed.
CURRENT: Article V - Financial Section B – Spending Limits The Club Board has authorized the Treasurer to disburse funds in support of Club activities not to exceed Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). With respect to the purchase of new equipment, expenditures greater than $2,500.00 must be approved by a vote of the general membership.
PROPOSED: Article VI - Financial Section B – Spending Limits The Club Board has authorized the Treasurer to disburse funds in support of Club activities. The purchase of new equipment or replacement equipment expenditures up to $2,500.00 may be authorized by the Club Board without approval of the membership. Any new or replacement equipment expenditure exceeding $2,500.00 will require a vote of the general membership.
We will review this proposed change with Kasey and post for 30-days on the club bulletin board and email to all members before conducting an online vote to amend the by-laws later this summer.
