Board tables bylaws vote until September after packet contained nonfinal text
Summary
Board discussed proposed bylaws and, because the packet contained a nonfinal version (section 3.6 differences), voted to table final approval until the September meeting; approval requires a 0.667 (7-of-9) affirmative vote when finalized.
Director Dr. West Milam presented a draft set of bylaws intended to govern meetings, procurement and board operations and thanked Tim Hearn for assistance drafting. He told the board the packet contained a nonfinal version and that a final, amended version would be required for a vote.
Milam noted that approval requires a 0.667 affirmative vote (7 of 9 members) and that, once approved internally, the bylaws must also be presented to the Fort Smith City Board of Directors and the Sebastian County Board for approval. Given the packet discrepancy, Baker moved and Hearn seconded a motion to table the bylaws until the September meeting; the motion passed by voice vote.
