Guest Peter Trzop Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:39 PM Hello, Once a measure is passed and implemented, say a project, are there rules to how quick another group can come in and remove the project? Say a building is authorized and constructed, but another group says they want to remove it...... What is the process here or rules? Are there any? My email is ptrzop@hotmail.com Thank you Pete Trzop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:50 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:50 PM As far as RONR is concerned, if the organization decides to build a building and then later changes its mind and votes to tear the thing down, that is perfectly okay. Of course, those in the organization who are opposed to tearing it down have the opportunity to speak in debate against that action, but the majority decides.

Edgar Guest Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:52 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:52 PM Say a building is authorized and constructed, but another group says they want to remove it...... I'm not sure what you mean by "another group" but the same group that authorized the construction of the building could also authorize its removal, even if the group is comprised composed of different members. Another group could authorize its removal only if the other group was superior to the group that authorized its construction. See Official Interpretations 2006-12 and 2006-13. Edited to add: In other words, don't confuse the group (e.g. the general membership or the board of directors) with the members of the group.

Guest Guest Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:01 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:01 PM Thank you for the responses. It is one organization, with factions..... So one votes to put in a project, it is put in, and another decides they want to tear it down, so they are going to bring a big voting block. Does this make the situation more clear....

Gary Novosielski Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:03 PM Hello, Once a measure is passed and implemented, say a project, are there rules to how quick another group can come in and remove the project? Say a building is authorized and constructed, but another group says they want to remove it...... What do you mean by "another group?" If the first group had the authority to build it, it's not likely a different organization would have the authority to tear it down. If, by "another group" you mean a different subset of members of the same organization, then it depends upon who can achieve a majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:13 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 08:13 PM It is one organization, with factions..... So one votes to put in a project, it is put in, and another decides they want to tear it down, so they are going to bring a big voting block. Let's say that, at the January meeting, the general membership adopts a motion to build a clubhouse in March. In June the general membership adopts a motion to tear down the clubhouse. It doesn't matter if some or all of the members that were at the January meeting are the same members that were at the June meeting. If the "build it" faction didn't want it torn down, they should have attended the June meeting. If the "don't build it" faction didn't want it built they should have attended the January meeting.

Transpower Posted July 7, 2014 at 12:48 PM Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 at 12:48 PM As a practical matter, if this project is really a building, why not propose selling it? If you tear it down, then your organization will lose all the money invested in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's like if at one meeting we allocate money to feed the board members, and at the next meeting we feed the board members ... to the crocodiles. Yup, I like Bucks County.
