During the Romulus Board Meeting on November 11, 2024, a significant discussion centered around the urgent need to update the district's legal policies. Board member Mister Brock emphasized that nearly a year has passed since the board, under former treasurer McCarthy, voted to maintain existing policies while incorporating necessary legal updates. Despite this directive, the board has yet to implement these updates, raising concerns about potential liabilities.

Brock pointed out that the legal updates, which are provided at no cost by the law firm Miller Johnson, have been prepared and redlined but remain unapproved. He stressed that the board's priority should be to address these legal components to ensure compliance and protect the district from legal risks. The delay in updating these policies has led to confusion among board members regarding what they are voting on, particularly concerning new participation policies that may not yet be legal.

This discussion highlights the board's responsibility to keep its policies current and legally sound, a matter that directly impacts the governance and operation of the district. As the board moves forward, the urgency of addressing these legal updates will be crucial in safeguarding the district's interests and ensuring clarity in decision-making processes.

In addition to the policy updates, the meeting touched on other topics, but the focus on legal compliance stood out as a pressing issue that the board must resolve to align with its previous commitments. The board's next steps will be critical in addressing these legal matters and fulfilling its obligations to the community.
