Lilburn DDA reviews proposed bylaws changes including signing authority and meeting frequency
Summary
Board member Amy Valdez-Barker presented proposed amendments to update OCGA citations, authorize the Chair or Vice Chair to sign real-estate documents, specify monthly meetings with 24-hour notice, and update notice and parliamentary procedure language; board will vote after the 10-day notice requirement.
Amy Valdez-Barker presented proposed amendments to the DDA bylaws during the work session and said the changes are subject to the 10-day advance notice requirement before a formal vote. Proposed edits include updating state code citations to OCGA 36-42-7 and 36-42-8, adding explicit signing authority for the Chair or Vice Chair for real estate and other DDA assets when authorized by board action, and changing meeting frequency language to specify monthly meetings with at least 24 hours' public notice rather than fixing meetings to the third Wednesday of each month.
Other proposed changes would update special meeting notice procedures to allow email instead of facsimile, reference the latest published edition of Robert's Rules of Order for parliamentary procedure, correct article numbering gaps, and clarify that amendment submissions sent by email are deemed delivered when sent by the Secretary. The board indicated it would vote on the bylaws amendments at the next meeting provided the 10-day notice requirement is met.
