SUMMARY:Special All Congregational Meeting: October 27th\, 2024 11:15am
DESCRIPTION:Announcement: Special Congregational Meeting Oct 27\nA special 
 congregational vote is required by New York State law.\n&nbsp\;\n\nAs you 
 probably know\, the congregation has a contract with a purchaser to buy ou
 r 624 North Broadway property. The Board accepted this offer because it wa
 s within the parameters the congregation had set by a special congregation
 al vote for selling our property.\n\nIt turns out that there are some spec
 ial requirements established by New York State law for not-for-profits and
  religious congregations when they are selling any substantive assets. A s
 pecial petition needs to be submitted to the NY State Attorney General’s
  Office who will then bring that petition to the NY State Supreme Court.\n
 \nOur lawyer\, David Harper\, has informed us that the congregational vote
  that set the parameters for accepting a purchase offer is not sufficient 
 to what the Attorney General and State Supreme Court requires. What’s ne
 eded is a vote on a resolution to accept the specific offer with its terms
  and with this particular purchaser. The resolution needs also to say spec
 ifically that the proceeds of this sale will be used solely for the purpos
 e of building our new congregational meetinghouse.\n\nWe are unfortunately
  learning about this need only now and\, since Supreme Court approval is r
 equired before we can close on our sale of the building\, we are under a b
 it of a time crunch. We need to get this done quickly.\n\nTo that end\, yo
 ur Board of Trustees hereby announces that a Special Congregational Meetin
 g is called for Sunday\, October 27\, to take place immediately following 
 the worship service on that day. The resolution to be voted on by the cong
 regation’s members will be to approve the contract for sale of 624 N Bro
 adway we have with Rusmir Redzematovic and Vyacheslav Faybyshev for the am
 ount of $1.275 million. The congregation will also vote to approve a resol
 ution that the proceeds of the sale will be used only to cover constructio
 n costs and other expenses involved for a new meetinghouse for the congreg
 ation.\n\nWe ask that all UU Saratoga voting members make it a priority to
  attend the meeting on Sunday\, October 27. All members will receive by em
 ail a copy of the contract of sale and the text of the resolutions to be v
 oted on.\n\nThank you!\n\nYour UU Saratoga Board of Trustees\nTari Lee Syk
 es\, President\nArt Holmberg\, Vice President\nSue Fisher\, Treasurer\nRic
 hard Wilkinson\, Secretary\nBarbara Floeser\, Trustee-at-Large\nRon Gianco
