BY-LAWS
The preliminary draft was presented to the Board for review. The Board issued a statement that only copies signed by Jim Chisholm or Keith Weeks are to be considered official copies.
Mary Chisholm submitted (by proxy) a letter stating that a preliminary copy of the By-Laws was circulated, reputedly by Dianne Morison, which resulted in confusion and undermined the effectiveness of the By-Laws revision. Official copies are available on the web site or at the office.
The Board asked for signed public input on the proposal via mail or e-mail by March 15th, and petitioned the committee for a final revision by April 1st, 2001.
The official revisions will be authorized by the Board and available at each applicable Board meeting, any and all other copies could be incomplete.
Keith Weeks posed a hypothetical solution to the individuality of the A.C.C., reinstate the standing committee the A.R.C. (Architectural Review Committee) under the direct jurisdiction of R&R and alleviate any future or potential vulnerability of the committee.
