NO 58102 <br />701.364.1900 <br />Fax 701.293.7819 <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />1 JAN - 6 2005 <br /> <br />January 5,2005 <br /> <br />CASS COUNTY COMMISSION <br /> <br />Joyce Schepp <br />Cass County Commission <br />P.O. Box 2806 <br />Fargo, ND 58108-2806 <br /> <br />Joyce, <br /> <br />I am requesting to be included on the Commission's agenda for the meeting on Monday <br />February 7th to review the proposed changes to the Growth Initiative Fund's Bylaws and <br />Memorandum of Understanding. A committee comprised of Scott Wagner, Bruce <br />Furness, Chuck Crary (GIF), Mary Johnson (GIF), Ann McConn (FCCEDC), Richard <br />Solberg (FCCEDC), and our staff worked for several months this past year to develop the <br />draft of Amended Bylaws. The Directors of both the GIF and F-CCEDC have formally <br />approved the amendment, so the m~xt step is to present the Bylaws to the commissions of <br />Cass County, Fargo, and West Fargo. <br /> <br />In addition to the proposed changes to the Bylaws, I would like to suggest formal <br />reappointments of the two GIF Board of Directors representing Cass County. The <br />updated Bylaws will now include language specifying term limits. A normal term will be <br />3 years but we plan to stagger terms at the beginning to allow for better alignment of term <br />expirations. With that stated, I would suggest Mary Johnson's reappointment for 3 years <br />and Mick Hammerstrom's reappointment for I year. <br /> <br />If I am allowed to be added to the agenda, I will then have our office send over the <br />Supp0l1ing materials for my presentation. The commissioners will be familiar with the <br />documents since I have met with all of them over the last couple months to educate them <br />on the proceedings. Please let me know if you need any further information regarding <br />my request. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br /> <br />1!ft- <br /> <br />Brian Walters <br />President <br /> <br />BRW/jm <br />
