MEMBERS DO HAVE THE RIGHT: Current Bylaws state: ***An annual meeting of the Members shall be held each year. ***Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the annual meeting of the Members shall be posted in RCSC Facilities and/or published in the RCSC newsletter (SunViews) and/or on the RCSC website (www.suncityaz.org), not less than ten (10) days, nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. ***With respect to AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS, notice of any proposed amendment shall be posted in RCSC Facilities and/or on the RCSC website (www.suncityaz.org) at least ten (10) days prior to a Membership meeting at which these changes shall be considered. ***With respect to AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES, notice of any proposed amendment shall be posted in RCSC Facilities and/or published in the RCSC (SunViews) newsletter and/or on the RCSC website (www.suncityaz.org) at least thirty (30) days prior to a Membership meeting at which these changes shall be considered. Such notice shall include the proposed changes to the Articles. ***The next Annual Membership Meeting of RCSC is March 25, 2025. ***A quorum for any Membership meeting shall consist of not less than FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING IN PERSON OR REPRESENTED BY PROXY. Once a quorum has been established for any meeting, the quorum must be maintained to conduct business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Members, the Members entitled to vote at such meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting without notice other than announcement at the meeting. ***Once a quorum has been established for any meeting, appropriate business may be conducted and decided by a MAJORITY VOTE OF MEMBERS PRESENT unless otherwise required by the laws of the State of Arizona or Articles. **Robert’s Rules of Order shall govern procedure at all meetings of the Corporation provided they are consistent with the laws of the State of Arizona and the Corporate Documents. A Parliamentarian may be present at the discretion of the President. ***The BYLAWS may be amended, modified, revised or revoked by the directors or BY THE MEMBERS. ***In the event of conflict concerning the bylaws as amended, modified, revised or revoked by the directors, the ACTION OF THE MEMBERS SHALL PREVAIL. **Proposals or matters +++RELATING TO THE CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS AFFAIRS OF THE CORPORATION, if brought before a Membership meeting, shall be REFERRED TO THE BOARD FOR STUDY. Such matters, being solely within the powers delegated to the Board in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and Corporate Documents, will be considered only as a RECOMMENDATION to the Board. ***If the disposition of these proposals or matters is DETERMINED BY THE BOARD NOT TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CORPORATION, the Board shall announce its decision and such proposal or matter shall NOT be considered further. ***The Members may, by petition signed by at least TEN PERCENT (10%) (3,300) of the total Membership of the Corporation as of the first day of the preceding July, bring the proposal or matter before the Membership for a MAJORITY VOTE OF THE MEMBERS present at a duly called and noticed Annual or Special Membership meeting. +++I will end this post by saying that I do not know who determines if the proposal that members bring forth in a situation like this would relate to the conduct of the business affairs of the corporation. As usual, I find that our Bylaws are not easy to read nor always understood - not even by the Board. Jean Totten as One Day at a Time
