New Business:

The Administration has proposed this amendment to Article IV, Section 6 of the by-laws.

Proposed Amendment

In the past few months it has often been difficult to get checks signed because the mandatory check signer has not always been available. Because of the growth of the organization, more and more checks are being written each month and the problem is becoming more cumbersome. In

In order to alleviate this problem, we propose that the Secretary Supervisor be made the mandatory signer (a common practice) and the countersigners be the Executive Director, Assistant Director, and Bookkeeper. The accounting consultant from DR has recommended such a procedure.

Article IV, Section 6 states:

The Secretary/Treasurer shall keep a complete record of the proceedings of members of the Board of Directors, shall keep the seal of the corporation and affix it to such papers and instruments as may be required in the regular course of business, shall make service of such notices as may be necessary or proper, shall supervise the keeping of the records of the Center for Independent Living and shall discharge such other duties of the office as prescribed by the Board of Directors. He shall receive and safely keep all funds of the Center for Independent Living and deposit them in the bank or banks that may be designated by the Board of Directors. Those funds shall be paid out only on checks of the Center for Independent Living signed by the Chairman, Secretary/Treasurer, or by such Directors as may be designated by the Board of Directors as authorized to sign them. The Secretary/Treasurer shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
