This month was a % membership present to vote on the action to amend the By-Laws by
deleting paragraph B. Section 4.13. This paragraph elements the requirement of the city attorney
as the PEDC attorney. With this amendment PEDC will be authorizes to obtain legal council
with a qualified and reputable firm. Rodney Bass started a discussion to not change the bi-laws
but work with the current wording to hire an attorney. The board decided that the wording was
too restrictive and needed to be changed. Sims Norment made a motion to change the bi-laws by
deleting paragraph B. Section 4.13 and Dick Severson seconded.
