EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the regular meeting on March 13, 2025, the Board amended the Authority bylaws to change its regular meetings to the third Monday of each month, except for February, August, October and December when there will not be a meeting. This was done to avoid scheduling conflicts for the Directors and their alternates. After the meeting, staff realized that the third Monday of every January is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holiday.
At the regular meeting on April 21, 2025, the Board indicated that January meetings and any other regular meetings that may fall on a holiday be held on the second Monday of that month. The proposed resolution will amend the Bylaws to reschedule any Monday meetings that fall on a holiday from the third to the second Monday of that month.
With the approved changes to the regular meeting schedule, the Board can approve the Authority's meeting calendar for the balance of 2025 and January 2026.
