V III, Article 3, Section 1 - replace "strengths and weaknesses" with "talents" Mary Ann mentioned that she reduced the header, font size, and expanded the margins on the minute's template to reduce the amount of paper required, but that the staff reversed the changes prior to distributing them. Mark suggested indicating to the staff on this month's minutes that the changes should be made. Board members requested that the schedule of Recorder/Facilitator be placed in each month's minutes. Arno asked how to handle an absence on a date when assigned a role. If a member cannot fulfill their assigned duty, it is their responsibility to arrange for a replacement. V. DETERMINE MEETING LOCATIONS Tom indicated that rooms in the library or one in city hall were available. It was unanimously decided that the preferred location was the library. VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS NOT ON THE AGENDA: None VII. FINAL VOTE ON DECISION TO AMEND BYLAWS Mark and Annie indicated that they had met and reviewed the city's new standardized bylaws' template. It contains language addressing the majority of our revisions but there are some differences. Mark volunteered to take our revised bylaws and drop them into the new template. They will be distributed for review and the vote to amend the bylaws was postponed until the next meeting. Tom indicated that we cannot change the committee's name without city council approval, but we do not need their approval most other changes. Arno stated that the name change is not merely semantics. It indicates a programmatic change which reflects the attitudes of a change in society. At the time the LCRB moniker was coined, "sustainability" was not a common term. Mark said that both the bylaws and the name address the board's practices. The duties section in the template will be where we define our responsibilities. Annie said she and Mark would take a close look at that section to ensure our intent is clear and then email the draft to the rest of the board.
