Alderman Harriott-Gathright
OK well then the Board Members that are there now, | am assuming, where are they from? Are they from
the business community, are they from the community, where are they from? Or that has not happened?
President Wilshire

Attorney Bolton?
Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel
It’s sort of traditional to establish Boards and Committees with an odd number and ostensibly that’s to make
ties less likely. Frankly, you often have even numbers present and if you get a majority the motion passes,
if it’s tie, that’s not a majority. So it is not required anywhere that it be an odd number, but it is sort of
tradition.

Director Cummings
Madam President, | see Celia Leonard wants to speak and then | also just want to clarify, | think you want
to have two Aldermanic Members, | think it’s a 9 person Board, | would recommend it be 11. But with that
being said, | think Deputy Corporation Counsel has something to say.
President Wilshire
Attorney Leonard?

Alderman Clemons
Yeah, is that a voting member on the Hunt Trustee or is just a Liaison do we know?
President Wilshire
| believe it is a non-voting member?
Director Cummings
No full voting.
President Wilshire
Oh full voting member.
Alderman Clemons
If | could if this Legislation doesn’t have that, | would recommend that we add that a voting member
appointed by the President of the Board. So | am going to make that motion tentative to amend.
