Board approves minor bylaw changes to county economic development partnership advisory board
Summary
Newaygo County commissioners approved recommended changes to the Economic Development Partnership advisory board bylaws: term limits for the chair, and designation of the economic-development director as a nonvoting member.
The Newaygo County Board of Commissioners on May 14 accepted recommended amendments to the bylaws of the county’s Economic Development Partnership advisory board.
The changes include a limit on the number of terms an advisory-board chair may serve and the formal appointment of the county economic-development director (currently serving in that role) as a nonvoting member of the advisory board. County staff described the adjustments as minor housekeeping aimed at stabilizing board membership after several resignations.
Why this matters: The bylaw changes clarify membership roles and term limits for a board that advises county economic development priorities and supports local job-creation activities.
Votes and outcome: Commissioners moved and approved the recommended bylaw changes by voice vote; the transcript records the motion as carrying.
Ending: County staff said the changes will be reflected in the advisory board’s rules and that the economic-development director will continue participating in an advisory (nonvoting) capacity.
