-
The proposed bylaws were reviewed, with the disputed sections flagged
for further discussion. Article III, Section 6 was abbreviated.
Section 8 was deleted. Article IV, Section 4 was disputed as being
too liberal. It was appended to require 10 members or 10 per cent,
with at least two members of the Executive committee present to have
a quorum. Section 5 was disputed for the same reason, with a similar
solution. Section 4 was further amended so that the definition of a
quorum applies to any membership meeting. Article V, Section 2 was
amended, removing the October clause. Section 3 was amended, changing
the first "November" to "October." Section 4 was amended, changing
"December" to "November." Article VI, Section 2 was amended by changing
"December" to "November," adding "next" before "regular," and striking
"in January". Article XII, Section 1 was amended to "These bylaws may
be amended or repealed by a 2/3 majority vote of the members in good
standing, present at any membership meeting, providing that notice
of the proposed amendments has been provided to the membership 7 days
prior to the meeting. For the limited purpose of any amendment to these
bylaws, a quorum will be defined as no less than 20 members or 20% of
the membership, whichever is less". Entire group of bylaws was accepted
by motion, second, and unanimous vote.
-
The proposed article of suspension or termination was omitted from the
bylaws by unanimous vote.
-
Herb gave the Events committee report. There will be a club flight
sometime on the weekend of April 21 or 22.
-
David Drum explained to members how to respond to confirmation
notice they had received from the club's email list (hotair@hombc.org). It was agreed
that there should be two lists. One for official business and another
unofficial list. All members would automatically be subscribed to
the official list and only the executive committee could post to that
list. The unofficial list would be used primarily as a way for members
to communicate with each other. There would be not any restriction on
who could subscribe and post to the list. David said that the club's web
page could be found at www.hombc.org.
-
Barb spoke about the Ed Yost Historical Marker. It was agreed that rather
than use meager club funds to make a donation in the name of the club,
donations from members would be collected by Karen.
-
The next meeting would be held on Monday April 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the
Walton building.
