 2. Committee Activity Reports
•	By-laws. Revised bylaws presented. Various changes: 2 year term for officiers, annual meeting, yearly written notification to all members  Questions of Roberts Rules of Order. Many voiced preference for a more informal relaxed meeting. When formality needed will use Robert’s Rules. Concern re transition. Clarification on special committee status and feedback to group discussed.  Over all it was felt that there is a need for additional discussion for the bylaws committee to consider before the new bylaws are presented for vote.

Jim Pierce will be asked if he can do that and then the document will be sent to the City for posting
