At  our next meeting, we will vote on the following Bylaw Change.

 

Summary:  The most senior member can choose whatever slip he or she wishes to rent from the available slip.

 

Bylaws ARTICLE XVIII (Current)

Section IV — The Pier Chairperson may arrange the temporary assignment of slips to members who are unable to obtain a permanent slip due to seniority. A member whose dockage has been paid in full by March 31st may notify the Pier Chairperson to offer his/her permanently assigned slip for temporary assignment to another member for that season. Such slips will be utilized strictly according to seniority. First, according to the members who are offering their slips for temporary assignment; second, according to members without a permanent slip; and then, if there are any slips still available for temporary assignment, they will be made available to members who desire a second slip, by seniority.

Any member whose slip is temporarily assigned to another member for that season shall be reimbursed one half of the dockage fee by the Club for that season and will retain claim to that slip. The member accepting temporary assignment of a slip shall pay the full dockage fee and will have neither claim on that slip nor any special consideration in the regular slip assignment process.

 

Bylaws ARTICLE XVIII (Proposed)

Section IV — After the May Membership meeting the Pier Chairperson will lease available slips to members who were unable to obtain a permanent slip assignment due to lack of seniority.

A member whose slip has been paid in full by March 31st may notify the Pier Chairperson to offer his/her permanently assigned slip for temporary assignment to another club member for that season. The leased slips will be assigned as follows:

First members without a permanent slip my select a leased slip for the season, by seniority. If there are any slips available for temporary assignment, they will be made available to members who desire a leased slip, by seniority of the member's selecting a slip. All members seeking a second slip may select any of the slips that remain available for lease.

Any member whose slip is temporarily assigned to another member for that season shall be reimbursed one half of the dockage fee by the Club for that season and will retain claim to that slip. The member accepting temporary assignment of a slip shall pay the full dockage fee and will have neither claim on that slip nor any special consideration in the regular slip assignment process.
