EDC amends bylaws to align appointments, replaces “CEO” with “executive director”
Summary
The board approved resolution R2025‑0005 to amend the corporation’s bylaws to align with council code changes that remove a council‑appointed member when they leave office, and to change the title “CEO” to “Executive Director.” Board asked for clarified treasurer responsibilities to be returned at a future meeting.
The Bastrop Economic Development Corporation board on March 17 approved resolution R2025‑0005, adopting the eleventh amended bylaws to align the EDC with recent council code changes and to update language from “CEO” to “Executive Director.”
Staff said the bylaw changes align the board’s appointment rules with a council amendment that removes an appointed member when they leave their council seat, and that the cleanup replaces the term CEO with Executive Director to reflect public‑sector titles. The proposed amendment was described as non‑substantive housekeeping except for the appointment alignment.
Board members discussed the treasurer’s duties specified in the bylaws, noting the text still reads that the treasurer “shall receive and give receipt for money due and payable to the corporation” and outlining other duties that do not match current practice. John (board member) and others asked staff to clarify and return with revised language that accurately reflects current practice, including signature card practices and financial review responsibilities.
The board voted to approve R2025‑0005 and directed staff to return with suggested language clarifying the treasurer’s executed responsibilities for a future meeting.
