Facilities advisory committee adopts bylaws with alternates, elects Jordan Miles as chair
Summary
The Inglewood Unified School District Facilities Advisory Committee approved its bylaws with an amendment to allow two at-large alternates to help achieve quorum and elected Jordan Miles as chair and Rafael Guzman as clerk.
The newly formed Inglewood Unified School District Facilities Advisory Committee voted to adopt its bylaws on Wednesday, approving an amendment to add two at-large alternate members and electing Jordan Miles as chair and Rafael Guzman as clerk.
Dr. James Morris, the county administrator who opened the meeting, proposed the amendment to add “2 at large alternate members who may participate to achieve a quorum and vote in the place of any absent committee member,” saying the change would help the committee get business done when regular members are absent. The committee discussed the amendment and then approved the bylaws by roll call.
Brandon Myers made the motion to adopt the bylaws; the amended motion was seconded and carried by roll call. The committee then moved to select officers. Jordan Miles accepted the nomination for chair and was elected by roll call. Miles told the committee, “I do accept.” The committee later nominated and approved Rafael Guzman as clerk; Davenport conducted the roll call for that vote.
The adopted bylaws lay out the FAC’s duties, including advising the board, reviewing facilities projects and the facilities master plan, and publicizing construction status reports. The documents require committee members to follow the Brown Act and complete statutory ethics disclosures (Form 700), and they set membership at 11, including three district administrators, one board member, union representatives and four at-large community seats. The amendment creates two alternates who may vote in place of absent members.
Committee members noted the bylaws also detail officer duties, meeting cadence (monthly September–June with a calendar to be adopted), quorum rules and a process for bylaws amendment (first and second readings with supermajority thresholds). The committee approved the proposed meeting schedule for 2025 and adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
Next steps: the FAC will begin regular meetings under the adopted bylaws and take up facilities planning and project oversight at subsequent sessions.
