appointments are made. Said nomination must be of a sitting City Council member, and <br />the nomination shall be subject to Council approval. The Director nominated by the <br />Corporation's Board of Directors and approved by City Council shall serve a term of one <br />(1) year. Each Director shall be a bona fide resident and shall reside within Lamar County, <br />Texas, with the exception of the Director appointed from the City Council, who shall be a <br />bona fide resident of the City of Paris as required by law. These seven. (7) Directors shall <br />constitute the Governing Body of the Paris Economic Development Corporation. <br />"The City shall consider an individual's experience, accomplishments, and educational <br />background in appointing members to the Board. <br />"With the exception of the City Council member appointed and approved pursuant to the <br />preceding paragraph, no former or sitting member of the City's Council shall be eligible <br />for appointment to the Board until they have ceased to serve on City's Council for a period <br />of at least one (1) year." <br />Again, I forwarded this revision. to Council on June 26th. <br />STATUS OFISSUE: After speaking with Council Member Hughes on July 2, 2020 and Council <br />Member Knox on July 23, 2020, it has now come to my attention that the revised amendment did <br />not in fact effectuate the intent of all Council members voting in favor of the motion. <br />Consequently, since the motion as approved included the provision that the seat to be filled by a <br />council member was to be "selected [or appointed] by the PEDC," which does not comply with <br />state law, and since the revised amendment did not effectuate the intent of all the members voting <br />in favor of the June 22nd motion, it is necessaryfor Council to vote on whether to adopt the revised <br />proposed amendment increasing the Board of Directors from 5 to 7 members with one member <br />being a sitting Council Member nominated by the Board of Directors subject to the approval of <br />and appointment by Council. <br />OPTIONS: Council may: <br />1. Approve the amendment as written in the Background section above; <br />2. Approve a different amendment; or <br />3. Decline to approve any amendment at all. <br />A motion to approve any change tote P Bylaws requires an affirmative vote of 5 <br />Council Members to pass. If Council does not approve an amendment increasing the number of <br />directors from 5 to 7, Council. will need to act at the next meeting to bring the PEDC board back <br />down to 5 members unless there is a voluntary resignation. The PEDC, working with its legal <br />
