2006 New York Code - Corporate Meetings.



 
    §  65.  Corporate meetings.   1. In every incorporated church to which
  this article applies and in which  the  trustees  thereof  as  such  are
  elective,  there  shall be held an annual corporate meeting. Such annual
  corporate meeting of every incorporated church to which this article  is
  applicable  shall be held at the time and place fixed by or in pursuance
  of law therefor, if such time and place be so fixed, and otherwise at  a
  time  and  place  to be fixed by its trustees and in accordance with the
  constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
    2. A special corporate meeting of any such church  may  be  called  by
  trustees  thereof  on  their  own  motion,  and must be so called on the
  written request of at least ten qualified voters of such church,  or  on
  the  request  of  the  session  thereof,  and shall be called and notice
  thereof given in the same manner as for an annual corporate meeting.
    3. The trustees shall cause notice  of  the  time  and  place  of  its
  corporate  meetings  to  be given at a regular meeting of the church for
  public worship, at morning service, if such service be held, on each  of
  the  two  successive  Sundays  next  preceding  such  meeting, if public
  worship be had thereon, or otherwise on each of two days, at  least  one
  week apart, next preceding such meeting; or if no such public worship be
  held  during  such  period,  by  conspicuously  posting  such notice, in
  writing, upon the outer entrance to the principal place  of  worship  of
  such  church.  Such notice shall be given by the minister of the church,
  if there be one, or by the officiating minister  thereof,  if  there  be
  one,  or  by  any officer of such church. If such notice be of an annual
  corporate meeting it shall specify  the  names  of  the  trustees  whose
  successors  are  to  be  elected thereat; if such notice be of a special
  corporate meeting, it  shall  specify  the  particular  business  to  be
  transacted  thereat,  and  no other business shall be transacted at such
  special corporate meeting.
    4. Whenever in any  such  incorporated  church,  by  virtue  of  their
  offices, any of the spiritual officers thereof are the trustees thereof,
  they  may  in  their  discretion call special corporate meetings of such
  incorporated church; and in such case such meetings shall be  called  by
  the  same  notice  published  or  posted  in  the  same manner as herein
  provided for the notice of such a meeting by  the  trustees  of  such  a
  church  elected  as such; and in each such case such notice must specify
  the particular business to be transacted at such meeting, and  no  other
  business shall be transacted at such special corporate meeting.
