Redevelopment Commission adopts updated bylaws; confirms statutory treasurer role and bond level
Summary
The Delaware County Redevelopment Commission adopted updated bylaws May 8, including a notice-period provision and a confirmation that the fiscal agent serves as treasurer by statute; commissioners also noted bond level of $15,000 required by statute.
Delaware County Redevelopment Commission members voted May 8 to adopt updated commission bylaws with an added blank for a quarantine provision and a notice‑in‑advance clause.
A staff member presented the draft bylaws and said there is no statutory requirement to publish changes in advance but the draft includes a section specifying how many days in advance bylaw changes will be provided to the board. The board discussed customary notice periods and settled on a 14‑day advance notification as a reasonable convention. The commission also recorded that Kevin Reed, the fiscal agent, is the treasurer by statute and noted that the bond requirement for the office is $15,000.
Commissioner Henry moved to adopt the bylaws with the added language; the motion passed on a roll call vote. The commission also agreed to complete remaining administrative items, including adding new director access and ensuring all members have access to the adopted materials.
Why it matters: Adopting bylaws clarifies internal procedures, notice timing and statutory responsibilities for the commission and its fiscal agent, and it memorializes administrative expectations for future governance work.
