LLW Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:31 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:31 AM Other than one circumstance, our By-Laws do not address what body has authority to appropriate funds.Our President asked the board to appropriate $75 to $100 per year to facilitate a club website.My understanding is that the membership would have to approve a motion each year to pay a specific amount to specific vendors.The President cited past precedent as the boards authority to make the appropriation.

hmtcastle Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:39 AM Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 at 12:39 AM The President cited past precedent as the boards authority to make the appropriation.If that means that the board has over-stepped its authority before so it can do so again, you've got a problem.But see also Official Interpretations 2006-12 and 2006-13 for the relative authority of boards and the general membership.
