We’re Looking for Feedback on the Code of Regulations
The Lomond Community Association Leadership Committee has been charged with the task of reviewing and revising the Community’s Code of Regulations (which appears to have been last revised in 1976). The updated draft document was presented at the July 12th Association Meeting and the Committee is soliciting feedback from the members of the community so that we may review and revise the Code into a final draft to be voted on at the August 16th Association meeting.
Please review the DRAFT document attached (also note that the PowerPoint presentation is included for informational purposes) and provide feedback NO LATER than JULY 26TH. Feedback may be provided as a comment to this post or to:

1. Section 5:08 - I think we should allow paid members to vote absentee (either by email, early voting or at lomondonline). I believe this will encourage greater participation and likewise accomondate those unable to show up in person for a voting meeting because of other obligations.
2. As for immediate action Expenditures (Section 11:01 B) - I suggest a simple majority (51%) of the executive would do rather than the entire executive. ‘Immediate action’ may be difficult if we need to corral all members of the executive.
3. I’m assuming the Section 2:03 B definition of ‘Contibuting Member’ means individuals, businesses or associations outside our community have paid membership dues but have no voting rights. I agree with this understanding. I say yes to their support but no to voting rights for anyone or any entity outside of the Lomond area.
4. Please define “resident and/or property owner of Lomond area” by outlining the geographical boundary. I suggest we lose the ‘Lomond School District’ language.
5. The Section 2:05 definition of membership year conflicts with the Section 2:02 definition. I recommend making the fiscal year and the membership year the same (1/1/XX - 12/31/XX) - simple.
6. We may wish to include a Safety Committee as a Standing Committee in Seciton 6:01. We have a few Lomond residents who have expressed some interest in such a committee and we also get regular email correspondence from Chief Ugrinic. I suggest a Safety Committee would be a good way to nurture a positive and productive relationship with the police department as well as keeping Lomond residents informed and safer.
7. I recommend only two people get signing authority for Association checks (the President and the Treasurer). I’m not sure about the ‘countersign’ language but I think a single signature by either the Treasurer or the President is all that would be necessary for Association checks.
