TM COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending the Bylaws for the Lodi Arts Commission to Reduce the Membership of the Commission from Eleven to Nine MEETING DATE: August 4,2010 PREPARED BY: Deanie Bridewell RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution amending the Bylaws for the Lodi Arts Commission (LAC) to reduce the number of positions on the Commission from eleven to nine. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 9,2010, at the regular Lodi Arts Commission meeting, the members in attendance voted unanimouslyto amend the LAC Bylaws to reduce the number of positions on the Commission from eleven to nine. The size of the Commission is specified within the Bylaws for the LAC and therefore requires Council action to approve. The reasoning behind their action is that it has become increasing difficult to maintain a full commission at the current level. Meetings have occasionally been canceled because a quorum can not be reached. Commissioners believe a smaller commission will reduce the likelihood of recurrences.
