BACKGROUND
To Amend Article 4 of the By-laws of the Economic Development Commission, adopted by the Board of Commissioners 1/28/2020 (Res# 2020-005) to revise the membership structure as follows:
1. Article 4. Item B - ADD - Gaston College/Ex-Officio/Non-Voting position
2. In 2022, the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2002-222 which created and implemented a private/public funding structure with the Gaston Chamber Economic Development Division to enhance participation in economic development efforts for the County. This entity no longer exists and the funding contributions, as established in 2002-222, ceased several years ago. Approval of the revised by-laws revises the following positions originally established by the funding structure:
• DELETE - City of Gastonia Appointment
• DELETE - Chamber/Economic Development Division Appointments (Three)
• AMEND - Municipality Appointment changed to a Non-Voting Municipal Rotation position (non-funded) - Article 4. Item C
As part of the review of the By-laws, other necessary administrative modifications were identified and incorporated accordingly.
The Clerk to the Board is authorized to make the adjustments to the appointment records.
