FROM: cc:
Perfecto Villarreal , Executive Director
SUBJECT:
ADOPTION OF AMENDED ADVISORY HOUSING COMMISSION BY-LAWS
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Advisory Housing Commission By-Laws, amended on October 20, 1986, as
recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Housing Commission felt there were some deficiencies in its
existing By-Laws. After considerable research, the Policy and Strategy Committee of
the Advisory Housing Commission suggested non-substantive changes to Article III,
Section 2 providing for a change in term of office as approved in the Board Order
dated April 17, 1984; Article III, Section 3 providing for a mechanism to consider
three unexcused absences as grounds for dismissal from the Commission; Article IV
Section 2 providing for a maximum term for elected officers; Article V, Section 1
excluding the Chairperson as a member of the nominating committee; and, Article VI,
Section 7 providing for the addition of Committee Reports to the Agenda.
On October 20, 1986, the Advisory Housing Commission voted to adopt the
By-Laws as amended and to forward them to the Board of Commissioners for approval .
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not approve the amended By-Laws, the
Advisory Housing Commission would continue to operate under the existing By-Laws
which contain obsolete clauses.
