Appendix I - Supplemental By-laws

Revisions and Changes

​

Original Paragraph:

10        Composition and election of board

1. The board is to consist of an odd number of directors, being a minimum of 7

​

Updated Paragraph:

10        Composition and election of board

1. The board is to consist of an odd number of directors, being a minimum of 5.

 

Reason for Change:

Proposing to change minimum number of directors from 7 to 5.

7 Directors for a staff of 4 seems excessive. Given the recent difficulty recruiting directors, we desire the ability to remain compliant at 5.

 

 

Updated Paragraph:

33    Member in Good Standing

1)    Any member of the Association who is a “member in good standing” may attend and vote at meetings of the Association and be elected a Director of the Association.

​

2) The definition of a “member in good standing” shall be a person who:

1. has paid the membership fee; and

2. has entered into a contract for the provision of natural gas service; and

3. has paid the required contribution of construction and extension of works cost, if any; and

4. has paid all accounts rendered by the Association when they became due; or

5. has not been declared by the Board, acting reasonably, to be a member not in good standing.

 

3)     In the event that the Board has declared a member to not be in good standing pursuant to Section 2 (e), the Board shall give written notice of its decision in form attached as Schedule 1 to this Supplemental By Law

​

Reason for Change:

Added per Alberta Rural Utilities recommendation.
