There were several points of concern to LCC which were addressed by Meredith Muth including: 1)The LCC should get authorization to reimburse a Board member for purchases of greater than $50 of goods for a LCC event. 2)The reason for bylaws review process is to bring all boards and commissions into uniform compliance of the City charter. This is a proactive exercise and not reactive to any activity of the LCC. 3)It was noted that bylaws under the City charter may differ than those set forth in the 501(c)3 organization. 4)There was discussion regarding the removal of the clause in section 10 regarding absence from meetings. Board members serving on LCC may have family obligations which prevent their regular attendance at meetings, however many hours are put into their Board positions outside meeting hours. 5)The initial bylaws for the LCC 501(c)3 charter are still in place. LCC Board will work to be sure there is compliance with the City charter. Additional note to public comments: Youth Advisory Board member was present to observe. VII.President’s Report –Julie K.
