TO: Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors
FROM: Barbara Boswell, Interim Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 3: Adopt Resolution Adopting Amendment No. 1 to the By-Laws with Respect to the Date,
Time, and Location for Regular Meetings of the Board
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-009 Adopting Amendment No. 1 to the By-Laws with Respect to the Date,
Time, and Location for Regular Meetings of the Board.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Article V, Section 1 of the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) By-Laws, adopted at its regular meeting
September 17, 2020, established the third Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. for the holding of the
regular meetings of the Board of Directors. Due to a scheduling conflict, the CEA Board adopted
Resolution No. 2021-006, changing the meeting date to the fourth Thursday at 2 p.m. and directed staff
to bring an amendment to the By-Laws to the Board with respect to the date, time, and location of
regular meetings of the Board. In order to have greater flexibility in establishing regular meeting dates,
the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the By-Laws provides that the date, time and location of its regular
meetings be established by a resolution adopted before the commencement of each fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact by this action.
