ITEM SUMMARY:
• The current Bylaws for Reinvestment Zone Number One, Section 3 (d) states:
(d) Each year the City Council shall annually designate one (1) member of the Board of Directors to serve as chairman for a one (1)-year term that begins on January 1 of the following year. The Board of Directors shall elect from its members a vice chairman to preside in the absence of the chairman or when there is a vacancy in the office of chairman. The Board of Directors may elect other officers as it considers appropriate. The Board of Directors shall meet at least quarterly throughout each year.
• Since 2010, the Board has not held the required quarterly meetings. In most years, the board has met three times or less.
• As written, the proposed Ordinance will change the meeting frequency to at least once per year or otherwise, as needed.
• The proposed Ordinance will also consolidate the information contained in previous Ordinances for TIRZ No. 1 (Ordinance No. 2010-09-034, Ordinance No. 2010-10-041, and Ordinance 2011-04-016) and the proposed Ordinance shall supersede the previous Ordinances established for TIRZ No. 1.
