There have been many changes to Patton Lake Constitution and By-Laws.
This post is to discuss this document and recommend changes. As an example, under Article IV Board of Directors;
that any Big or Major changes that would affect the membership
…shall be sent out to the membership for a vote. …Once a Majority vote has been achieved by the
membership, then said action may be voted on by the Board
of Directors and then passed….This section letter K added this day is the only section of
the bylaws that can never be amended again here on out
without sending out a full membership vote and majority
approval (51%) of the members in good standing with the
corporation to vote. When a vote is being requested to
the membership on these said actions then the secretary
or said person sending out the vote request must include
a self-addressed stamped envelope addressed to Patton
Park, Inc. to members so members can vote for said
process without worries. Members need to vote and allowed
at least 30 days to respond. If a majority of response of
(51%) of members in good standing is achieved before then
then said action may take place.
This section is poorly written, vague and unattainable.
We could never get 51% of all members in good standing.
Also the statement that it is can never be amended is against the Indiana State code.
In my opinion this article should be removed by the Board.
