However, changing the bylaws requires additional steps. The Board has to notify the neighborhood of the proposed change, hold a community meeting and actually read the changes and then, 20-30 days later, hold another community meeting where the residents vote on whether or not to accept the new bylaws. Nothing happened beyond the board vote. For good reason!<br /><br />The proposed bylaws reduced the number of directors and made it possible for the board chair to appoint directors in certain circumstances. The end result was that it would entirely possible for 2/3 or more of the board to be appointed rather than elected within a two-year period. <br /><br />The proposed bylaws also removed the requirement for community meetings. In fact, the proposed bylaws were so anti-community, they would not have had a chance of being adopted. <br /><br />It is interesting to note, however, that the proposed bylaws were the only bylaws provided by the former board chair to those elected to the board in 2007. So they believed they were operating under bylaws that had never been adopted. No wonder things were such a mess.<br /><br />As to fiduciary responsibility of board members: At the board meeting where the most recent "budget" (I use the word loosely) was adopted, there was no supporting documentation provided to the board. EB Brown and Robert Scott said they had reviewed it with the accountant and recommended approval. One board member asked (to be sure) that they both had thoroughly reviewed the budget. Based on their response, the board voted to approve the budget. Again, at least three members voted against it (Kip, PJ and Daniel), but they were outvoted by a majority that abrogated their fiduciary responsibilities and trusted the board chair and the treasurer's opinions, neither or whom are/were financial professionals or people who even understood what was going on with JACC's money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-20022677885527258832009-05-20T09:33:21.335-05:002009-05-20T09:33:21.335-05:00The "new" bylaws were not adopted because Jerry wo...The "new" bylaws were not adopted because Jerry wouldn't let the members have a copy of the 3o days prior to the annual meeting so they could read and UNDERSTAND them.
