Meeting Protocol and Procedures: Edit and/or modify your user name in the chat and participant window: state your name and Neighborhood Association. This makes it easier to take attendance and keep a record of members attending the meeting. Repeat this procedure in the chat. All chat statements are directed to the Officer (President) conducting the Zoom Meeting and are recorded with the meeting. Use the ‘Raise Hand’ feature: If you raise your hand manually, it is very difficult to see you and call on you in a timely manner. The Current Bylaws governing tonight’s business are excerpted below:
Article II MEMBERSHIP
MEMBERSHIP of the coalition: Any neighborhood or homeowners association registered or recognized with the Office of Neighborhood Coordination or with Bernalillo County and within the boundaries shall be eligible for membership. New overlapping neighborhood association boundaries of more than 50% are strongly discouraged.
REPRESENTATION: Members shall designate a primary and alternate representative to represent that association at all coalition meeting. A list of those representatives shall be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the coalition. All changes must also be in writing and submitted prior to the next Coalition meeting.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP: Any neighborhood or homeowner's association within the County of Bernalillo supportive of the goals of the Coalition is eligible to participate in the Coalition as a non-voting associate member.
Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The government of the Coalition shall be vested in a Board of Directors consisting of one (1) primary and one (1) alternate representative designated by each member association. Vacancies are to be filled by the affected member association, and such replacement directors serve for the remaining terms of their predecessors. Each member association may also have an alternate representative attend meetings in the absence of the designated representative.
QUORUM: A quorum, consisting of a majority of the member associations shall be required at all times when motions are raised requiring a vote. If a quorum is not evident the Secretary shall conduct a voice roll call to determine if a quorum exists. A quorum is not required for adjournment when the Directors agree that all business on the
