The current Articles and Bylaws provide for nine directors, three appointed by the City Council, three appointed by the School Board and three appointed by the Board. There is at present no requirement that Board members be residents of the City. It is recommended that six of the members must be residents of the City, with the pro- vision that if a person is appointed he/she could continue on the Board for the balance of their term if they were to move from the City. Mr. Van Valkenburg added that when the Articles were amended to allow an increase in the membership to nine and gave the Foundation Board the authority to appoint three members, no provision was made for staggered terms. to stagger the terms so that in any given year one representative from the School District, the City, and the membership at large is appointed. Before drafting these proposed changes, authorization is requested from the City Council and the School Board. If given, the draft Bylaws will be prepared and then be presented to both the Council and the School Board for approval.
