Title
Resolution - A Resolution to Consider Amending the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation’s Certificate of Formation to Establish A Policy Regarding Consecutive Years of Service
Requested Action
Approve a Resolution to Amend the Corporation’s Certificate of Formation
Recommendation
Approve Resolution
Description/History
The City Council authorized the City Manager to make changes beginning January 1, 2022 to establish a policy regarding consecutive years of service. Directors may serve up to three consecutive terms for a total of six years unless the change causes an excess of 25% of the board or commission to turn over, then the most senior members in time would terminate and that a term member can reapply after a break from that board or commission that is equal to or no less than twelve months. This change is being made to give others in a growing community an opportunity to serve and to encourage those that have served for multiple, consecutive terms opportunities to serve in different capacities. This change requires an amendment of the Corporation Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation by the MPFDC Board and City Council. The proposed amendments were approved at the November 17, 2022 MPFDC board meeting.
Justification
The amendments to the Bylaws will coincide with the direction from City Council.
