Feb. 2016 Meeting: By-Laws Updated

At its Feb. 2016 meeting, the ICL membership unanimously voted an amendment to the by-laws proposed by the board, to allow meetings to be rescheduled to the second Tuesday of the month in cases where circumstances, such as road closures or evacutation orders, make that necessary. Previously, ICL by-laws did not allow a regular meeting except on the first Tuesday of the month.

This change originated because of difficulties the board experienced opting to reschedule the very important January 2016 elections meeting because of heavy rains and a voluntary evacuation order in effect in Silverado canyon.

Here is the original text and the amended text that now replaces it.
​

Prior Text of Article 3, Sec. 8:

“Regular meetings of Directors shall be held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM, unless such day falls on a legal holiday, in which event the regular meeting shall be held at the same hour and place on the following Tuesday. At the annual meeting of the membership, held on the first Tuesday in January at 7:00 PM, directors shall be elected by the voting members in accordance with Article 13.”

Revised Text of Article 3, Sec. 8 as Approved:

“Regular meetings of Directors shall be held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7PM at a location announced by the Directors at the prior meeting. A regular monthly meeting shall be rescheduled to the second Tuesday of the month at 7PM, under any of the following situations:

1. The first Tuesday of the month falls on a legal holiday,
2. Exigent circumstances outside the Directors’ control, including major road closures, emergency evacuation orders whether mandatory or voluntary, or inability to occupy the previously declared meeting site at the time scheduled.
3. An indication from a majority of Directors that a quorum will not be present such that ordinary business could be conducted,
4. A unanimous vote as provided in Sec. 16 by all Directors to so reschedule a regular meeting,

Upon recognition that a regular meeting must be rescheduled, timely notification to members shall be disseminated by the Directors via appropriate means, and whenever feasible a printed notice shall be placed at the previously declared meeting site of such rescheduling. Any regular monthly meeting that cannot be so rescheduled to the second Tuesday shall be deemed cancelled for that month.”
