GRVNC Announcement: Bylaws Ratified by Stakholders

COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER ANNOUNCEMENT
Grass Roots Venice Neighborhood Council (GRVNC)
=======================================================

In this announcement:

1. New Bylaws Ratified by Stakeholders
2. Reminders: Meetings this week

------------------------------------------------------
1. New Bylaws Ratified by Stakeholders

On May 1, 2006, the stakeholders of Venice were asked to
ratify bylaws changes approved by the GRVNC Board on
March 29th, 2006. Over 350 stakeholders came out to cast a vote
and the new bylaws passed with 61% of voters approving the changes.

217 stakeholders voted to ratify and 139 voted to reject the new
bylaws. A simple majority of Stakeholders is required to ratify
new bylaws approved by the Board.

Now that the bylaws have been approved by both the GRVNC Board
and Stakeholders they will be forward to DONE for final certification.

Six stakeholders did not have proof of stakeholder status at the time
of the election and cast provisional ballots. Because these ballots could
not have changed the outcome of the election, they were left uncounted.

For a summary of the bylaws changes, please read the bylaws
committee chairs letter to the GRVNC Board:
