Amendment
to Bylaws
|

|
At
its meeting on January 22, 2007, the Board of Directors (the "Board")
of
The York Water Company (the "Corporation") approved an amendment
to the
Bylaws of the Corporation (the "Bylaws") to provide for a decrease
in the
minimum number of directors to eight (8) from nine (9) and an increase
in
the maximum number of directors to twelve (12) from ten (10). The
amendment to the Bylaws became effective January 22, 2007.
Article
III of the Corporation's Bylaws was amended to include a new Section
3.03., which reads in its entirety as provided below:
|
||
|
Section
3.03. Number
and Term of Office
The
board of directors shall consist of not less than eight (8) nor more
than
twelve (12) shareholders of record as shall be determined from time
to
time by the board of directors in its sole discretion. At each annual
meeting the shareholders shall choose by ballot one (1) of three
(3)
classes of directors, each consisting of at least three (3) but not
more
than four (4) directors, to conduct the affairs of the corporation
for
three (3) year terms and until their respective successors shall
have been
elected and qualified. If the shareholders shall have elected eight
(8)
directors, the board of directors may increase the number of directors
at
any time thereafter. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the board
of
directors, including any vacancy resulting from an increase in the
number
of directors, the remaining members of the board of directors may
fill
such vacancy until the next election of the class to which such director
shall have been elected.

Prior

of

four
(4) directors, to conduct the affairs of the corporation for three
(3)
year terms and until their respective successors shall have been
elected
and qualified. If the shareholders shall have elected nine (9) directors,
the board of directors may increase the number of directors to ten
(10) at
any time thereafter. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the board
