CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO THE LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BYLAWS. Board Member Sniff felt that the object of rotating the offices has created confusion and suggested going back to the Mayor serving as the chair and the Mayor Pro Tern serving as the Vice Chair. Board Member Henderson felt that is probably the simplest way of handling it. Chairman Perkins disagreed as he felt that the two bodies should be separated as much as possible. Board Member Pena suggested that the Mayor not be allowed to serve as an officer of the Agency and that the officers be selected from the remaining members without a rotation process, but with a one-year term limit. Board Member Henderson asked if there are any legalities dealing with this matter and Ms. Honeywell, Agency Counsel, advised not--that it is strictly a Board decision. In referring to the By-Laws, Board Member Pena felt that the section relating to the Agency Counsel needs to be interpreted; and the section relating to the Treasurer needs to be more clear as to who the Treasurer is. Board Member Sniff suggested a one-year term limit which would basically accomplish the rotation concept.

The Board concluded on directing staff to draft an amendment to the By-Laws wherein the selection of the officers will not include the Mayor. MOTION It was moved by Board Members Sniff?Henderson to draft an amendment to the By-Laws indicating that the Chair of the Agency is to be chosen from the City Council excluding the Mayor and that the Vice Chair will be chosen in the same manner excluding the Mayor) as well as the other modifications that need to be made to the By-Laws and to be brought back to the Board on January 1 9th.
