Background

The Board of Trustees proposed various revisions to the Runyan Lake Inc. bylaws to bring them up to date and eliminate inconsistencies.

The proposed changes were reviewed at the Spring 2007 General Membership Meeting for feedback.  Full details of all the proposed changes were made available to all members prior to the Fall 2007 General Membership Meeting, and were presented at the meeting and approved with minor changes.

Copy of the updated bylaws were distributed to all members in September 2007.  If you need additional electronic or hard copies, please contact John Norris.

Changes included:

• Revisions as needed to accommodate properties being developed within RLI described territory that do not have any access to Runyan Lake – this is driven by the new Runyan Lake East site condominium development that includes such properties.

• Making descriptions consistent throughout the text for meetings, voting majorities, members, and other grammatical errors.

• Removal of the language referring to the special assessment for the boat ramp, now finished.

• Requiring nominations for trustees to be submitted sufficiently ahead of the Fall General Meeting for proxy voting to be a practicable option.

• Relaxing various items of text so that items voted annually do not require amendments to the bylaws to be sent out annually.

• Bylaws were further updated November 2008, only to update the listing of trustees to reflect elections and appointments for Fall 2008 thru Fall 2009.
