Director asks to pull Land Bank Commission bylaws; commission drafted changes
Summary
Director Adcock asked to remove item 6 from the consent agenda to allow directors time to review proposed Land Bank Commission bylaws the commission drafted; staff said the commission approved the changes and the city board must ratify them.
At the April 29 agenda meeting, Director Adcock asked that item 6 — proposed changes to the Land Bank Commission bylaws — be removed from the consent agenda so board members could review the materials.
“I've just received from the city manager, some city attorney, a list of what item number 6 is, and I have a lots of questions,” Director Adcock said, asking that the item be held separate.
Cameron, a city staff member, said the changes were drafted after discussion within the Land Bank Commission and approved by that commission; the draft was prepared by the city attorney’s office and is now before the city board for final approval. Director Miller, a liaison to the commission, said the proposed bylaws had been discussed at multiple Land Bank meetings and that Chairman Lee led a bylaws committee that reviewed the text.
Board members also discussed whether recently passed state legislation and a city ordinance limiting remote attendance applied to commissions and boards. One speaker noted the recent legislation and city ordinance “did not apply to boards and commissions; it only applied to the board of directors.”
The board agreed to keep item 6 separate so directors could review the proposed bylaws and return the item to consent if Director Adcock is comfortable by the following Tuesday.
