Bylaws Amendment Referendum Results

The referendum to amend the bylaws to allow for hybrid meetings failed to receive a 2/3 (66.67%) majority as required by the New York State Cooperative Corporations Law and the Coop’s bylaws. 6,504 votes were cast: 66.43% in favor, 33.56% against.

Because of the close vote, the Board of Directors voted to postpone receiving the advice of the members on the referendum. The Board requested a recount of the paper proxy ballots. The recount results will be reported at the July 29 General Meeting.
