NEW BUSINESS: A response by the Manor lawyer, Dave Williams, to Jim Cooney, a member of the Matustik family who recently made a request to run for the Board. David Williams addressed the issue regarding the ability of a “family member” as opposed to an “actual owner” or part of a limited partnership running for the Board. He pointed to our By-laws which are very precise in that regard. One cannot just appoint a representative of a family, unless the By-laws are amended to clarify who is eligible to hold office. Cooney did not remove himself from the ballot but was not allowed to run.
