DDA Meeting Agenda Explanation
February 12, 2008

Conflict of Interest Inquiry. Members will be asked to declare any conflict of interest with any agenda item.

Treasurer's Report.

7. Unfinished/Old Business:

A. Angle Parking – Discussion/Action

Because of the lack of a majority of the Board (only four voted) voting on this issue at the February 6, 2008, Board meeting, it is necessary to set this special Board meeting to vote with the majority of the Board (five members). With the revised Board membership of nine, five members are required to vote on an issue. When members abstain, it does not count toward the majority.

8. New Business

A. Rules of Procedure Revisions – Discussion/Action

Staff has made revisions to the DDA Rules of Procedure manual indicating the nine (9)-member board as well as language indicating majority votes. This revision requires action by the DDA Board to approve these revisions.
