Proposed By-Law Amendments:
#1. Proposed amendment
Current Article 4, Section 6 – Hiring of Work or Services/Purchasing of Materials
When the club votes on needed materials and/or work and/or services needed to complete a task, job, or project, the club will first seek to secure materials and/or work and/or services to accomplish the task, job, or project with volunteer donations first. If said need is not able to be accomplished via all attempts to secure a volunteer solution or for a reason of urgency is required outside the normal circumstances, the next step will be to secure help within the club network or resources. That club resource will propose a clear rate for labor/services or equipment and provide a total estimate for the task, job, or project to be completed in writing or e-mail. The estimate will need approval of the committee and board based on Section 5 above regarding spending limits. If project overages occur, the committee must report to the board as soon as possible the overage issue and the board will either vote to approve the overage, based on the circumstances, or ask to have a negotiation with the service or material provider so an agreement can be settled.
Propose adding at end of Section 6: A conflict-of-interest form must be on record for any club member that will be bidding on paid services that the club votes on. Said member may not be part of the bid reviews and may not be present during the vote to approve a contract. Any questions regarding a bid from a club member for a project must be answered before discussion, review, and voting for funds.
#2. Proposed amendment
