Committee discusses potential 501(c)(3) nonprofit to support Parks programs
Summary
Members discussed pursuing 501(c)(3) status and heard that a separate volunteer board (president, vice president, treasurer, trustee and secretary) would be required; a community member requested more information on the rationale and implications.
The New Haven Parks and Recreation Committee discussed whether to pursue 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for its activities. Committee notes indicate that a separate governing board would be required; the minutes list a proposed board structure including a president, vice president, treasurer, trustee and secretary (application held by "Lynn").
A community member identified as Mr. Yorich asked the committee for more information about the rationale for forming a 501(c)(3) and what responsibilities or changes it would create for the committee. At the "call from the floor," Brett Harris provided information on 501(c)(3) matters to the committee; the minutes do not record verbatim answers or next steps. The committee did not adopt a formal resolution to form a nonprofit during this meeting.
