Title
Amendment the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area (GCRA) Advisory Board Rules (B)
Explanation
On January 20, 2022, the City Commission, on second reading, amended the GCRA’s City ordinance (Legistar #210666), reducing the number of Board members from fifteen (15) to nine (9). As a result of the amendment, the GCRA Advisory Board Rules must also be revised to reflect the change.
Subsequently, on May 5, 2022, (Legistar #210898) the City Commission approved the same change to the GCRA Rules.
Additionally, in consultation with the City Attorney, it was suggested that this also provided an opportunity to address/recommend other edits to the Rules. Accordingly, upon review of the document, staff identified a discrepancy in Article VI - Order of Business as shown.
