The Articles of <br />Incorporation, Article V, established quorum as being one third of the <br />Board. Members of the SAEC Board have discussed and will be voting to <br />amend quorum to one half plus one. This modification, if adopted, would <br />allow for more Board members to participate on Board committees without <br />triggering a quorum issue for the entire Board. <br /> <br />Article XI of the Articles of Incorporation states the Articles may not be <br />changed without the approval of City Council. Therefore, the Board of <br />Directors is asking that City Council adopt a resolution consenting to a <br />modification of Article V of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the <br />size of quorum. This would allow the Board to change the quorum <br />percentage and immediately proceed with establishing membership on various <br />Board Task Forces. <br /> <br />550-1 <br />
