Approval of Modification to 4CDC Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation
Mr. Karl Haas stated the City Council had requested an appointment to the 4CDC board of
directors. Mr. Haas stated it was the understanding last time this was brought before the
Commission [at the October 9, 2012 special meeting] that adding a fourth member to the
board would be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Council. However, the Council has
since requested to keep the board at three members and require a change in the person or
agency making one of the three appointments.
Discussion ensued regarding previous action taken on this item at the special meeting and its
relation to the vote.
Mr. Bowers moved to approve Action Item#2, seconded by Mr. Meyer.
Mr. Worrell stated he intends to vote against this item.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Haas stated it was his understanding that this is a condition the Council has set for
consideration of the refinancing of the Redevelopment Commission's long-term obligations.
Mr. Haas stated it was his interpretation of the e-mail exchange that the Council will not take
up that matter until this item is approved.
The current structure of the 4CDC includes three board members; one appointed by the
Mayor, one appointed by the CRC and one appointed by the Board of Public Works. This
would change the structure so the Board of Public Works would give up its appointment in
favor of the Council. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Hammer stated the Council Finance Committee has a meeting scheduled for October 18,
2012, at which they will continue to consider the refinancing.
The motion was approved by a vote of three in favor and one opposed.
New Business
None at this time.
Other Business
