Attachment D
The proposed revision to Attachment D modifies the time period to provide notice of proposed rules changes to members/residents from 30 days to 21 days. Changing the notice period not only aligns the notice period with that for proposed Club Board policy changes but also facilitates more timely approval consideration of proposed changes. Currently, depending on the date of the board meeting, which is held on the last Tuesday of each month, it can sometimes take up to two months for the Board to review and approve proposed changes. By reducing the notice period to 21 days, the process can be streamlined, ensuring that proposals are considered more efficiently and in a timelier manner.
