RE: Approve Amendment to Section 2 -38(A) BID Board Membership and Terms to
Increase Membership to Include Two Alternates (BID Board recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The BID Board is requesting a change to section 2 -38 (BID Board) to include the addition of two (2)
alternate members to the board. Currently, the board consists of ten (10) regular members representing
various ownership categories in the BID Operating Plan. At times, it has been difficult to reach
quorum (six (6) members) at the monthly BID Board meeting due to the diverse makeup of the board
members.
ANALYSIS
The BID Board approved amendments to its By -laws and Operating Plan at the April 19, 2011 meeting
to include two (2) alternate members. The City Attorney recommended that the alternate members
have an "at- large" classification. The addition of the two "at- large" alternate members to the board
will continue to meet statutory requirements of BID Board representation. Alternate members shall be
appointed by the Common Council for three (3) year terms. This addition will offer flexibility to board
members whose schedules at times conflict with the regularly scheduled meetings and prevent delays
or rescheduling of board meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT
N/A
RECOMMENDATION
The BID Board approved this amendment at its April 19, 2011 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
