NOTES

It is not possible to do a side by side comparison of existing Bylaws to proposed Bylaws. The existing Bylaws had multiple references to other sections and over the years as amendment were made some cross references were not corrected. Some times one section was changed but an impacted section was not changed. This is a cleaned up and easier to read document.

On the first page, you will see that we provided abbreviations for “Unity Church of Arlington dba Unity of Arlington,” “Unity Worldwide Ministries,” “Minister(s) or Spiritual Leader(s),” and “Board of Trustees” to simplify reading

Throughout discussions, we encountered provisions that required actions we have not done in years. Our decision was to remove such provisions. Other provisions were unnecessarily specific, including language more appropriate for and included in our Policies and Procedures. Those were also eliminated.

The proposed Bylaws were prepared based on our existing Bylaws with reference to the current Unity Worldwide Ministries recommended Bylaws, the Bylaws for Unity of the Hills in Austin, and sample bylaws for non-profits provided by the Secretary of State of Texas.

There are certain provisions that the committee and board of trustees would like for you to be prepared to discuss.

Section 3.3 – Terms of Membership, B) Removal, the last sentence. That sentence essentially gives the minister veto power if 2/3 of the board (which includes the minister) vote to remove membership status for a specific person. The committee wanted to leave the decision to members. The committee recognizes the intent for Unity of Arlington to be community centered rather than minister led, and was still hesitant to take the final decision away from the minister.

Section 3.4 – Power of Members (F) and Section 4.3 – Board of Trustees, D) Duties, 7) both increase the dollar amount for the board’s action from $10,000 to $25,000. Given the current cost, we felt the increase is needed. The air conditioner and roof repairs for Garden Lane together exceeded $10,000. Recognizing that emergency repairs could easily exceed $10,000 we recommend the increase.

Section 4.3 – Board of Trustees, D) Duties, 13) we left in this provision because the Community Roundtable does not have a well defined purpose at this point. We feel the community needs to determine for what teams the BOT has responsibility and that discussion is likely to be ongoing for months or years. In the interim some oversight is appropriate.

Section 4.3 – Board of Trustees, F) Suspension of the Minister, and G) Termination of employment of the Minister were broken into two provisions since suspension can allow time for investigation of actions or allegations without terminating.

Article 8 – Indemnification is a new provision added using the Texas sample Bylaws for non- profit organizations.

We have had directors and officers coverage for many years. Our Bylaws have not included and indemnification article because they were originally based on Unity Worldwide Ministries suggested bylaws. Texas requires the inclusion of an indemnification clause in bylaws in order for 2013 11 18 BYLAWS NOTES Page 10 of 11 insurance to attach. Without this provision the insurer could deny coverage even though we have purchased coverage.

Various places we have made email the default method for mailing of required notices to members. Members have expressed a preference for email to save postage and trees. We still have provision for members to choose to receive notice via USPS.

Various places After the Transformation Experience, the community decided to adopt the practice of having a champion and co-champion for each team and committee. As a community we continue to refer to team leaders as chairs. Do we want to change the Bylaws to refer to champions rather than chairs? Do we want to change the Bylaws to include co-chairs or co-champions? Do we agree that the substitution of champion for chair and/or the addition of co-champion or co-chair are not substantive and would not require a formal amendment?
