Committee reviews bylaws, plans recommendation to Deer Lodge city council
Summary
The committee reviewed minor changes to its bylaws — clarifying chair duties, adding a temporary chairperson provision, noting that meetings are recorded, and changing the regular meeting day to the first Wednesday at 5 p.m. Staff said the bylaws will be a recommendation to the city council for final approval.
A committee presenter reviewed proposed amendments to the Economic Growth and Development Committee bylaws and told members the document would be presented as a recommendation to the city council.
Key changes discussed included clarifying that a committee chair "shall assume responsibility immediately upon appointment and shall serve as elected or removed per the needs of the city or the committee," adding a temporary chairperson provision (section 5) to cover absences, inserting the word "recordings" into section 14(a) to reflect that meetings are now recorded, and updating the standing meeting time from the first Thursday at 5 p.m. to the first Wednesday at 5 p.m. The presenter also said the back page would replace a specific chairman’s name with the generic label "committee chairperson."
The presenter framed the document as "minor changes" consistent with other committee bylaws and said that if members had no further corrections the committee would make a motion and recommend the bylaws to the city council for approval. No formal committee vote on the bylaws was recorded in the transcript during this meeting.
The item was discussed for committee confirmation and for forwarding to city council; staff committed to preparing the recommendation for council consideration.
