The Executive Council requests membership approval on the following change to the Bylaws. This vote will be held at the same time that we vote on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on July 19th. A change to the Bylaws requires a two/thirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the votes cast.

Why make these changes? This change has been recommended by DMLSA's attorney, Matt Stokely. It will pave the road for DMLSA to contribute to the Dayton Metro Library's levy campaign. A copy of the Fair Share Procedures Policy is available here. The suggested changes/additions to the Bylaws are underlined below:

Article IV. Dues

Section 4.01 Initial dues in the amount of 1.75% of gross annual pay shall be deducted per twenty-four (24) pay periods. After twelve (12) months of dues collection, dues will be reduced to 1.5% of gross annual pay. Dues are not refundable for any reason whatsoever for voting members.

Section 4.01a Non-voting members (fair share) can seek reimbursement of dues that were not used for the administration and negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement. The non-voting member(s) seeking reimbursement must follow the Fair Share Procedures Policy which is implemented by the Executive Council and subject to amendments from time to time by the Executive Council.
