=== Governance === * The LLC will operate using consensus decision-making. Every member will need to support a decision and we shouldn't move forward if somebody feels strongly enough to say that they "block" (i.e., they are absolutely opposed). This will cover: ** Addition of renters ** Addition of new members ** Addition of pets ** New construction ** Renovation ** Refinancing * Many things we don't need formal consensus and any members can simply act on behalf of the LLC to do these things. In these cases, folks should use their judgement and are strongly encouraged to ask others about in advance.

The secretary must schedule a meeting in these cases within a month and should endeavor for all members to be able to attend, but must ensure at least a majority of members. If the secretary fails to organize such a meeting in this time frame, the member calling for the meeting may organize their own meeting with at least a majority of members, which will be considered valid. ** In the event of the death of a member, that member will not count toward quorum. The member's financial stake can be inherited but their governance stake in the organization can not be.
