Our By-Laws have as.....
Article X - Seal. The Board of Directors shall provide a corporate seal which shall be circular in form and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the State of Incorporation and the words "Corporate Seal."
Then it says.....
Article XI - Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed and new By-Laws may be adopted by the members at the annual meeting for the membership called for such purpose by two-thirds (2/3) vote of a quorum of the members present.
If the Road Association wants to repeal the By-Law requiring a Seal, what do we do after the decision has been voted on? Does it have to be recorded, notarized...etc? Is there a process that is required for it to become effective?
If your by-laws are currently recorded, then it's probably a good idea to record the amended bylaws. If they are not, there's no reason to start now.
Why do you want to repeal the seal article? For about $25 you can have a rubber stamp which fulfills the bylaw's requirement; that's probably easier than holding a vote, and certainly cheaper than recording a change, if necessary.
