Board weighs bylaw amendments and legal review on lava-lot assessments and refunds
Summary
Members proposed multiple bylaw changes — staggered terms, building-rule updates, and a mandate for an annual December audit — and a working group recommended independent legal review of proposed lava-lot assessment amendments before adoption.
Speaker 3 read five proposed bylaw motions developed at an earlier pavilion meeting: staggered two-year director terms; updated building and land‑use rules aligning with state and county codes; mandatory annual December audit before elections; an attendance-forfeiture rule (three consecutive missed meetings triggers resignation); and a requirement that disputes be handled by mediation and binding arbitration.
Separately, Speaker 5 moved that the association obtain an independent legal opinion on proposed bylaw changes tied to lava-lot assessments so the amendments would not alter the corporation's charter purposes. The motion was presented as preparatory; Speaker 1 said Janice would compile cost estimates, and the board agreed it would not change bylaws before 2026.
