Board to Propose Bylaw Correction; Formal Vote Deferred to Next Meeting
Summary
Members identified a typographical error in the Open Space Advisory Board bylaws that references the wrong board. Staff proposed correction at this meeting; the bylaws change must be formally proposed at one meeting and voted on at the next, so the correction will appear on the next agenda.
Board members discussed a proposed correction to the Open Space Advisory Board bylaws after staff identified two instances where the text mistakenly referenced the Carbon County Emergency Operations and Training Center instead of the Open Space Advisory Board.
A staff presenter read the bylaw language on Article 5, “roles and responsibilities,” which currently references Robert’s Rules of Order and states that the incorrect board name appears twice on page 3. The presenter described the issue as a typo and said the correction would be proposed tonight and would appear for a formal vote at the next meeting, per the bylaws’ rule that a change must be proposed at one meeting and voted on at the next.
Board members confirmed they understood they could not change the bylaws immediately during this meeting. One member expressed dislike for the error; another asked whether a formal motion to change the text was required tonight. Staff reiterated that the correction will be placed on the next meeting’s agenda for a vote.
No formal amendment was adopted at this meeting.
