A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF CLAYTON AND THE CLAYTON CENTURY FOUNDATION
07-12-16 BOA Minutes July 12, 2016 Page 7 of 8
City Manager Owens reported that recently the CCF updated their By-laws and, at the same time, evaluating the original Memorandum of Understanding. While most of those documents remain unchanged, one change to the By-laws requires that the Memorandum of Understanding be amended in order to be consistent with the By-law changes. Before you tonight is a proposed amendment that addresses the requirement that the Board of Aldermen (BOA) appoint three members to the CCF Board of Directors, one from each ward. As the CCF Board of Directors is made up wholly of Clayton residents who represent the entire community it is believed that it is no longer necessary for the BOA to make these appointments. Rather the responsibility for ensuring that there are representatives from all three wards of the City will fall on the CCF Board of Directors. They will be required to inform the BOA each time that a new Director is elected or appointed as to the geographic status of the voting members of the CCF’s Board of Directors, including representation from each Ward of the City. The BOA will continue to appoint two Aldermen who will serve as non-voting members of the CCF’s Board of Directors. Aldermen Berger and Boulton expressed concerns of the split between wards. Alderman Lintz clarified that there has always been one appointment from each ward with no control for the other 17 members. Alderman Garnholz moved to approve the amended MOU with CCF. Alderman Boulton seconded.
