ONC Reminds Neighborhood Associations About Bylaws
The Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) reminds neighborhood associations that, when submitting bylaws (whether amended or new), they must be full and complete, and submitted in one document with all amendments included. Bylaws that are sent separately, e.g., current bylaws and revised bylaws sent as separate documents, cannot be accepted by our office and will be returned. For guidelines about writing, amending, and submitting bylaws, visit: http://www.cabq.gov/office-of-neighborhood-coordination/documents/bylaws-guidelines-and-amendments-update-march-11-19.pdf
