ECIA BYLAWS REVIEW AD HOC COMMITTEEDraft Amended Bylaws Available for Review Online – Open Forum on Bylaws Set for February 13, 2020 A proposed draft of the Sixth Amended ECIA Bylaws is now available for Members to review at https://eldoradosf.org/document/Proposed-2020-Bylaws.pdf. Open Forum Set. The Board and the Bylaws Review ad hoc Committee will host an open forum on the proposed amended Bylaws on February 13, 2020 at 6:00 PM in the Railroad Room at the Community Center. At the open forum, ECIA Members are invited to discuss and give feedback on the proposed amended Bylaws. Alternatively, feedback may be sent via email to: bylawsreviewchair@gmail.com Lot Owners Must Vote to Approve Amended Bylaws. After the open forum, the Committee and Board will have the opportunity to discuss and make final changes to the draft Bylaws based on feedback from Members. The amended Bylaws will then be on the ballot for lot owners to vote upon as part of the Election and Annual Meeting process in April/May. The amended Bylaws need approval of 60% of all lot owner votes cast on the election ballot in order to pass. If approved by the lot owners, the amended Bylaws will take effect after certification by the Secretary of the Board. Review of Bylaws Required Every Two Years. Proposed amendments to the Bylaws were based on suggestions from Members, Directors and the ECIA’s attorney received by the Bylaws Review ad hoc committee during its routine review of the Bylaws. The ECIA’s Bylaws require they be reviewed every two years. The objective is to continuously upgrade and improve the governing structure of our community. The Bylaws Review ad hoc Committee has met twice monthly since June. The Committee started its work by receiving suggestions from lot owners on potential changes to the Bylaws by the July deadline. Based on suggestions received, the Committee made proposed changes to the Bylaws. Those suggested changes were sent to the Association’s legal counsel for review. Next, the Committee provided the reviewed draft to the Board for its consideration. The Board reviewed the draft and approved the version of the amended Bylaws which is now posted online. The Board and Committee next seeks your feedback about the proposed Bylaws. The Board and the Bylaws Review ad hoc committee looks forward to hearing from you at the forum in February.

ELDORADO NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
BUILDING COMMUNITY ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A TIME Neighborhood Watch (NW) is a program to build community and unity in neighborhoods to reduce crime, become aware of security-related issues and to connect with neighbors. The time required to participate in Neighborhood Watch can be quite manageable, even for those with busy lives. Participating in Neighborhood Watch simply means being aware of what is going on in your neighborhood, and this can be accomplished daily as you commute to work, are in your home, or even walking around the neighborhood. An annual block meeting or party can be a fun way to get to know your neighbors. Click on this link https://eldoradosf.org/Committees/neighborhood-watch.html to read in detail about Eldorado Neighborhood Watch or go to the Resident Resources tab > Neighborhood Watch. Help us to attain our goal of complete coverage of all residents in Eldorado by joining NW and becoming a Block Captain. If you do not receive NW alerts, then you probably do not have a Neighborhood Watch Block Captain on your road. Email or call Chairperson Joe Loewy to find out more about being a volunteer Block Captain: jloewy42@aol.com. or 505-231-6462. ECIA Dog Park Rules
