Delegates Amend By- Laws in Wake of Verdict NY local157.com
Under the current by-laws, If Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Atlas does impose sentence on June 30, and as a result Mike Forde must relinquish his post as EST, under Section 9 (C), the President would immediately become Executive Secretary- Treasurer Protem and because there is more than one year left to the term of office, would be required to call for nominations of District Council Officers, including Executive Secretary Treasurer (EST.), President and Vice President in order to comply with Section 9(C).
The amendment requires the approval of the Government, and the Government may rule that by amending section 9 (c) when there is fifty percent remaining (18 months) on the term of office of the EST, may deprive the membership of their democratic rights by denying the membership their right to vote.
In compliance with section 34 of the district council by-laws, President Thomassen called for the amendment to be voted on, hearing no questions, the delegate body voted and approved the amendment 76 to 5 in favor.
Whether the Forde administration will prevail, or whether the Government will find a way to object to this amendment, is now uncertain.------------------------------------------- posted 8:08 AM :: reference link ::
