Hi Benjamin, SE Uplift interprets the ONI Standards to say that NA's *can* change their meeting agendas after notice has been given, since notice does not have to include the actual agenda. I can email you our reasoning but it doesn't really seem necessary since if MNA does have concerns about changing the agenda after notice has been given, they can simply approve the updated agenda at the start of each meeting.
I do want to take a moment to say that I would like to officially encourage / request that you and the remaining MNA board members enter mediation. I think the level of frustration you and other board members are experiencing has gotten to the point where it can't be resolved with these one-off rule based conversation. I fear that if this conflict is not taken to mediation, it will drain all the life out of the neighborhood association. If you and the MNA board members are willing to participate, I am more than happy to contact Resolutions NW and get the conversation started. -Kelly On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 7:52 AM, Benjamin Kerensa <bkere...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just to add in talking with Jennifer Tamayo about this and reviewing the > ONI Standards it does not appear that NA's can change agendas > once they have been posted. > > The ONI Standards say: "All notice, written or verbal, shall state the > date, time, and place of the meeting, and a brief description of topics on > the agenda.
