REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION<br />
Agenda Item: 11-18_________<br />
Subject Ordinance Reducing the Number <strong>of</strong> Members on the Sustainability Commission from<br />
12 to 10<br />
Action Requested: Approval <strong>of</strong> Ordinance<br />
Originated By: Sustainability Commission<br />
Referred To: <strong>Village</strong> President and Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees<br />
Summary <strong>of</strong> Background and Reason for Request<br />
The Sustainability Commission currently consists <strong>of</strong> 12 voting members and 3 non-voting members and has<br />
been meeting for the past year. Over the year, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain a quorum for<br />
meetings. One member <strong>of</strong> the Commission has indicated that he does not have the time to serve and asked<br />
Chair Wylie if he could resign. Another Commission member has not responded to staff’s phone calls and has<br />
not attended a meeting over the last year. Therefore, Chair Wylie is requesting that the number <strong>of</strong> Commission<br />
members be reduced from 12 to 10. Reducing the number <strong>of</strong> members will make it easier to obtain quorums<br />
and conduct Commission business.<br />
Chair Wylie and staff are requesting a waiver <strong>of</strong> the rules and approval <strong>of</strong> the ordinance as the next<br />
Commission meeting is on February 10 th and we are again having trouble obtaining a quorum.<br />
Chair Wylie and Jennifer Maltas will be available at the meeting for questions.<br />
