       Two ballot questions passed in a recent vote by the membership of the Old Colorado City Associates (OCCA) merchants group. One requires that the quorum for future bylaw elections be raised from the current 10 percent to 25 percent.
       The other approves basically accepted rules of conduct and accounting practices - although proponents of the measure stipulated that they were not alleging anyone of misconduct or poor accounting work.
