• The Maintenance Committee

 
b) The Board can create or disband a committee and can delegate the power to appoint a committee.  It can decide on the duties of the committee and appoint the committee Members. The Board must be notified of any changes to the membership of any committee as soon as they take place. 
 
Role of Committees

• spend any money

• authorize any expense

• enter into any contract, or

• commit the Co-op to any action.

b) A Member may sit on more than one committee, to a maximum of 3 at one time.   
Each Board Member may sit on only one standing committee, with the exception of the Member Selection Committee, where a Board Member may only act as designated Board liaison.  The Treasurer may chair the Finance Committee.
C) No Standing Committee Chair shall be in default of the Occupancy By-law or any other contractual agreement with the Co-op.
