Subject: Special Owner’s Meeting – Scheduled for April 16, 2019
A Special Owner’s Meeting has been scheduled for April 16, 2019 at 7:00 PM in order to amend our Bylaws. The primary purpose of the amendments is to remove the financial burden that our leach fields are placing on our Reserve Fund and our monthly assessments.
Prior to proposing these changes, we reviewed the State Condominium Law and our own Declaration and Bylaws. We also consulted legal counsel to assure we were on firm ground.
Attached you will find:
- Background information related to the leach field change as well as our view of its benefits. (attachment-1)
- A copy of the State Law enabling this change. (attachment-2)
- The paragraph in our Bylaws that will be changed. (attachment-3)
An additional amendment to our Bylaws is being proposed to correct an error that was made in the last round of Bylaw amendments. Those changes were made to bring our Bylaws into compliance with the State Condominium Law. This change makes it clear that Board vacancies must be filled by a vote of the Unit Owners, at a Special Unit Owners Meeting. This was the original intent of the committee making the changes. A copy of the Bylaw’s change being proposed is attached. (attachment-4)
It is critically important that you vote either in person at the meeting or by submitting your proxy. We must have approval of at least 66 unit owners for these amendments to succeed.
