June 2020: NPU-N Bylaw Update

NPU-N Bylaw Update

Every year at the June NPU-N meeting, the residents and business owners of our NPU vote on the NPU-N bylaws.  We are a unique NPU as each of our neighborhoods send a representative to vote on zoning and LRB matters and report back to neighborhoods.

This year's unique environment has posed challenges and opportunities. Participation has increased and zoning seems to have decreased.NPU-N board members have been reviewing NPU-N bylaws and have proposed a few updates.

PHNA will make a recommendation to support or not support this update at its June 10 deadline meeting.

1. The meeting venue is defined by the printed agenda. As always, this is determined by a Board vote, and distributed by Planning, subject to minimum lead time requirements defined elsewhere.

2. Quorum is achieved by majority Board attendance at the printed venue.

3. Board members can vote if they are visible and audible to attendees, and able to ask questions.

4. Applicants required to appear must be recognized as present at the venue printed on the agenda.

5. Robust update to public input mechanisms and digital presentation of meeting materials.

6. "Chairman" & "Chairperson" simplified to "Chair".
