The present Bylaws were adopted in May 1982. They govern the TCSC.

Youll notice the word "Incorporated in the title. What has that to do with? A great deal, because the TCSC is incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah and the Bylaws are the governing rules and regulations submitted to and on file with the state. They are the law, the legal rules, and the restrictions as far as running the organization. You change, amend, add or delete portions of the Bylaws; you can even adopt a new set of bylaws, but p the Tooele County Council on Aging. The Bylaws provide the financial structure who can legally spend the money, how much the fee for membership costs ($2.00) and the privileges and responsibility of membership, which includes the right to vote for the election of the members of a Board of Directors, the number (5), the length of a term of office (2 years), or to elect a member to fill a vacancy on the Board for the remainder of the term. The elected Directors form a Board of Directors, and are responsible to elect from their numbers the Corproate Officers who are President, Senior Secretary and Treasurer.

The elections are to be by ballot of the membership of the Corporation (TCSC). There is no limit on the number of termsnor of lapsed time between terms for a member to be nominated and elected to the Board.

A motion to establish a Standing Rule that it would be the policy to consider the Senior for election to the office of President was seconded, and the motion carried. The meeting was adjourned. In view of that action the Bylaws stand as written. The nominations are to be made for Directors, and following the annual meeting the newly elected Board will elect the corporate officers, accepting the guidance of the Standing Rule in the election of a President. The Nominating Committee is charged with the responsibility of nominating two persons for each vacancy on the Board. - Anchor Hocking Vice-Preside- nt vi i ; , .s 1 1 ! t 4 .

Each nominee is urged to provide a picture and resume of their experience and qualifications to be made available for the information of the memberships study prior to election. A plurality elects a member to the Board. That means the two persons receiving the highest number of votes are elected. If there is a tie vote for the highest plurality those persons are elected. If the tie exists between the next highest two a runoff vote between the tie will be held to determine the plurality between those two persons. In the event one of the persons desires to withdraw his nomination prior to a run-of- f she may do so, relinquishing the election to the other person. The present Board of Directors wish to retain the experience gained in the corporate office of president by a member (Karyl Maynard) whose term has expired and does not wish to run again for Director. This can be done by appointment of the Immediate Past President as an advisory member of the Board without voting privileges. The appointment needs the ratification of the new Board. Any position on the Board is an important one and requires the pre- sence of each member at their meetings. Section II of Article III Meetings deals with absences as follows: "Any member of the Board who shall absent himherself from three (3) consecutive regular meetings shall be deemed to have resigned as a member of the Board and shall cease to be a member thereof. SHe may, however, be reinstated by a majority of the Board upon good cause shown for the absences. A need for authorizing the reimbursement of Board members for expenses, such as gasmileage, housing allowance incurred while performing official duties (representation at meetings or seminars related to the concerns of the organization). The Board adopted Article XVI at their meeting 8 May. The amendment provides that reimbursement will be at the same rate as that paid by the Tooele County to their employees for these types of expenses. The ballot box will be open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on May 18th at the Senior Citizens Center in Tooele. The Annual Membership Meeting is scheduled the same day at 6:30 p.m. following the dinner. Results of the election to the Board will be announced at that meeting. If there are further questions call or a Karyl Maynard, member of the Nominating Com-- et 882-325- 0 mittee; Olga M.
