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.
Additionally, in consultation with the City Attorney, it was suggested that this also provided an opportunity to address/recommend any other edits to the Rules. Accordingly, upon review of the document, staff identified a discrepancy in Article VI - Order of Business as shown.
