Guest Hilton Wieder Posted May 8, 2014 at 07:10 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 at 07:10 PM We have a by-law requiring a 2/3 vote of all property owners to change our civic club dues. It's impossible these days to get 2/3ds of the owners to attend a meeting. The dues have remained the same since the civic club was formed.we need to raise the dues to meet expenses. The by-law cannot be revised, or changed by less than 2/3 of the membership. Can this rule be suspended in any way? Is there any recourse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular voting requirement is not suspendable under the rules in RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The by-law cannot be revised, or changed by less than 2/3 of the membership. The first sentence, above, doesn't say anything about changing a bylaw, you know. Is that horrible threshold what the bylaws say that their amendment requires? . Can this rule be suspended in any way? Is there any recourse? Assuming that the bylaws have not completely hog-tied the owners's club this way -- that is, assuming that the requirement in the bylaws for amending them is more lenient (i.e., less insane), you first amend the bylaws to change the voting requirement about changing the dues to something workable. Then you change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
