Gladwin attorney recommends smaller DDA quorum as council considers bylaw updates
Summary
Interim City Manager Kim Hines told the Committee of the Whole that Downtown Development Authority bylaws need revision and that votes by expired members do not count; Attorney Michael Gildner recommended a quorum of seven rather than nine for the district.
During new business on April 17, Interim City Manager Kim Hines told the Gladwin Committee of the Whole that the DDA's bylaws need updating and that votes cast by expired members do not count. Hines said the city could ask the council to set a quorum of nine, but Attorney Michael Gildner recommended a quorum of seven given the district's size.
Hines described past discussion at the DDA meeting and said the language in the bylaws needs adjusting to avoid counting votes from expired members. The committee did not record a formal vote on any bylaw change during the April 17 meeting; the item was presented for review and possible future action.
The minutes refer to the DDA throughout; the record does not expand the DDA acronym or provide the full legal name of the district in this session. Council follow-up or a formal council agenda item would be required to change bylaws or set a new quorum.
