Matt Wade discussed bylaw recommendations about attendance requirements for
meetings.
Kenny Kernell made a motion to delete the provision to the bylaws and replace the
wording. Teressa King seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. The
wording added to the bylaws:
DELETE THIS PROVISION FROM THE BY-LAWS:
Any member, regardless of the taxing unit responsible for their appointment, may be removed from their
position by City Council. A public hearing before the City Council may be demanded by a Board member
within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of removal from the Board. In the event that City Council finds the
weight of the evidence supporting removal and also finds removal to be in the best interest of the public,
the member’s removal becomes final. Alternatively, should a member not file a written statement with the
City Secretary contesting their removal within ten (10) days of their receipt of notice of removal from the
Board, the member’s removal becomes final.
REPLACE IT WITH THE FOLLOWING:
It is understood by the members of the Board that all members of the Board serve at the pleasure of the
taxing unit responsible for their appointment. It is expected that all Board members attend all regularly
scheduled Board meetings. If a Board member is unable to attend a regularly scheduled Board meeting,
the member shall notify the City staff liaison prior to the time such meeting is held. Annually, the Board
will provide each taxing unit responsible for appointing Board members a report that includes the
attendance record of the Board members.
Teressa made a motion to pass the bylaws, Phyllis Wall seconded the motion and the
motion passed unanimously.
Jeffrey reviewed the project submittal guidelines with the Board.
Nelda VanHoose made a motion to accept Resolution 18-001 regarding the Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone No.1, Historic Downtown Final Project and Financing
Plan, TIRZ Project Submittal Guidelines and TIRZ Façade/Public Improvement
Application. Teressa King seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Kenny Kernell made a motion to adjourn at 5:57 p.m. Kelly Alison seconded the motion
and the motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully Submitted,
Melinda Brown
Main Street Manager
