STAFF REPORT
The Uptown CAC recently completed an extensive review of its bylaws and a document
entitled "Election Proceduree- adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on February 20,
1984. Several inconsistencies between these documents and actual practice were
discovered, One of those areas can be reeolved by a simple amendment; to .the Uptown
CAC bylaws, Two other areas are noted below:
. Cf. Article I, Section 6 (see Attachment A), states: "Membership on
the CAC shall be for a period of four (4) years with staggered terms.
Initial terms of members ehall be estab1iehed by lottery,.,,"
The lottery to stagger the Uptown CAC membership was never carried out. The Uptown
CAC has recommended that a member's term of office begin on the date of appointment by
the Community Development Commission. In that way a very natural staggering of the
Committee will occur as originally intended,
. On February 20, 1984 the Mayor and Common Council approved "Election
Procedures- (see Attachment B) for the Uptown CAC. Those procedures under
#4 stated: "Jl.eelection of members shall be at annual or biellJl1al
elections."
The Uptown CAC feels that the cost of such an election outweighs the benefits
received. An election also makes it very difficult to maintain proportionate
representation by business owners/tenants and resident owners/tenants,
The Uptown CAC has authored a document entitled "Appointment Procedures" (see
Attachment C) which provides that nominations for new members first will be solicited
from current CAC membership. Each nominated person will be submitted to the
Councilperson for the ward in which he/she lives or does business prior to the formal
Community Development Commission approval process.
Sr, Asst. City Attorney Dennie A. Barlow was advised of the above mentioned
incons1etencies in a memorandum to him from Glenda Saul dated February 8, 1988 (see
Attachment D). His response is included as Attachment E.
Mr. Barlow has read and approved for content the document entitled "Appointment
Procedures,"
REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On April 7. 1988 the Jl.edevelopment Committee recommended that this item be forwarded
to the Mayor and Common Council for approval,

ArtIcle I SectIon 6 - Term of OffIce
The Uptown CAC bylaws state:
NMembershlp on the CAC shall be for a perIod of

It is my understandIng that the terms of those members elected In July,

Uptown CAC - Bylaws
From DENNIS A. BARLOW
~r.Asst.City Atty
D~ePebruary l8, 1988
Approved Dlte
You have asked several questions relative to the Bylaws of the
Uptown CAC to which I will respond in order.
You note tbat Article I, Section 6 of the Bylaws specifies that
tbe term will be four years, vitb staggered terms. ~he initial
stagger was to be determined by lot, but as I understand this
determination was not done. In the interim, otber members have
been elected or appointed, the result being tbat tbe terms of
four members will expire in April 1988. This then is a de facto
staggering of the terms. The other three should then expire in
April, 1990, retaining the originally anticipated ataggering.
As to whether those whose terms will expire shortly may
continue serving depends on the selection process. As you
noted the Mayor and Council approved an election process, dated
Pebruary 10, 1984. You may be correct that the cost of sucb a
process outweighs the benefit received, however, that Is a
political question, not a legal one. It also aeems difficult
to obtain individuals to fit all the various categories
established by paragraph 1 of the Election Procedures by
fOllowing an election process. Perhaps you vould like to
recommend a change in the process to provide for appointment by
the Commission. It may be important to have consistency
between the various areas so tbat should be reviewed.
to
As to the inconsistency you point out In Article II, Sections 4
and 5, I can find no vay to reconcile these two provisions.
Either Section 4 should be amended to provide that wThe
Redevelopment Agency ~ be assigned (or elected) as
Secretary/Treasurer-, or Section 5 should be amended to delete
the reference to the Secretary/Treasurer.
