XI. FEES AND ASSESSMENTS

XI.A. All corporation fees, dues, and assessments shall be set by the Board (A corporation fee shall be interpreted as an increase in fee that affects the workshift rate [Personnel Code]).

XI.B. A four-fifths vote of the Board shall be necessary to authorize a membership assessment (A membership assessment shall be interpreted as a fee that is assessed across the board and has no effect upon the workshift rate [policy directory]).

XI.C. A two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors shall be necessary to increase corporation fees or to adopt a budget including an increase in fees.

XI.D. In accordance with the two-year rent cap adopted by the BSC Board of Directors on 9/29/94, rents shall not be raised above 1994-95 levels during the 1995-96 and 1996-97 fiscal years. In the event of an emergency immediately imperiling the financial solvency of the organization, the Board may vote to raise rents during that time. Such a vote will be considered a membership assessment, (see section B) and would require the approval of four-fifths of the Board (in a roll-call vote).
