The Sunset Celebration Participation Committee Internal Policies were modified by vote. Rule B which had said “ If a person has been away from the pier for over 18 months, and hasn’t been a member continuously. They must re-jury and are subject to all caps.” Now Says “If a person has been away from the pier for over 24 months, and hasn’t been a member continuously. They must re-jury and are subject to all caps” This change was done at the board’s request. on 1/18/06 the board approved this and this new rule is effective from this day.
