DATE: January 2023
Current Bylaw: Article VI, Section 1. Annual Meetings:
The Annual Meeting of the active Members who are current in the payment of all due and all other charges, fees and assessments as provided for under Article IV and who have satisfied all monetary obligations imposed upon such member under Article XIV, commencing with the year 1970, shall be held at the principal office of the Association, or at such other place within Daviess County, Missouri as may be determined by the Board of Directors, and shall be designated in the notice of said meeting, on the first Sunday in the month of March of each year(or if said day be a legal holiday, then on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday) at 2:00 pm for the purpose of electing Directors, and for the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.
Proposed By Law Change:
The Annual Meeting of the active Members who are current in the payment of all due and all other charges, fees and assessments as provided for under Article IV and who have satisfied all monetary obligations imposed upon such member under Article XIV, commencing with the year 1970, shall be held at the principal office of the Association, or at such other place within Daviess County, Missouri as may be determined by the Board of Directors, and shall be designated in the notice of said meeting, on the third Sunday in the month of October of each year(or if said day be a legal holiday, then on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday) at 2:00 pm for the purpose of electing Directors, and for the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.
Proposed Bylaw Change Reason:
Budget – Currently, the association operates on a phantom budget for the first 2 months of the year. This date change will allow the association to approve the budget before the start of the fiscal year.
Attendance – The current date does not allow attendance for members that close their houses down or travel south for the winter. This change moves the annual meeting from early spring until fall hopefully before members are closing their houses for winter and members travel to warmer weather.
Weather – This change diminishes the chance of rescheduling the annual meeting due to the weather.
