He added that the original thought was to consider an amendment to allow three consecutive three-year terms, however, the Policy Review Committee elected to recommend an amendment that permits board members who have served a full term to qualify for additional term(s), even if those terms are served consecutively. It was acknowledged that the proposed amendment respects the guidelines and the appointment process overseen by the City Council, which ultimately has the final decision. The proposed amendment reads as follows: The sentence from Section 4.05 Tenure of Article !V that reads "The term of office for each Director shall be three (3) years and shall be limited to two (2) consecutive full terms." shall be amended as follows: "The term of office for each Director shall be three (3) years." Mr. Bray opened the floor to the Policy Review Committee. Mr. Homer elaborated, stating that the committee concluded that this amendment would help support the retention of institutional knowledge, expertise, and ensure board continuity. Mr. Bray noted that, provided the amendment was voted into effect, Dr. Hashmi would be the first board member eligible for additional terms, with Mr. Bray, Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Fendley eligible for additional terms in 2026. Mr. Bray opened it to Ms. Hammond regarding procedure. Ms. Hammond stated that should the PEDC vote to amend the current bylaws, the amendment would subsequently be presented to the City Council for their consideration. Following discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Coleman to approve the bylaw amendments as presented. Mr. Homer seconded the motion.
