Proposed Bylaw Changes

—————————————————

 Proposition 1:

Article V Section 6:  Add new subsection (h) Cause to be created a Ruby Ranch Wildlife Committee (RRWC), which shall report to the Board of Directors, with a minimum of three (3) Members in good standing.  The purpose of the RRWC is to manage the wildlife currently in Ruby Ranch, both indigenous and exotic, so as to engage in responsible stewardship of this valuable resource.  Members of the RRWC shall serve for three (3) years, and shall be nominated and elected by the voting members at the annual meeting.

 Proposition 2:

Article VII:  add part in bold:  The Association will appoint an architectural committee, as provided by the Declaration, a nominating committee, and a Ruby Ranch Wildlife Committee.  Beginning with the 2013 annual meeting and continuing thereafter, the Ruby Ranch Wildlife Committee shall be nominated and elected by the voting members at the annual meeting, rather than being appointed by the Association.

Proposition 3:

Article VIII ASSESSMENTS  add:  and FINES

Also provided in the Declaration in Article VIII, paragraph 8.22, is a fine of $1500.00 per trapped Axis Deer, Blackbuck Antelope, Fallow Deer, or any exotic deer in Ruby Ranch.  If the fine is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is assessed, the fine bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum, and the Association may bring an action at law against the owner or member to recover the same.  Interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees of any such action will be added to amount of the fine.
