The group of three members was charged with revising <br />the document to accurately reflect the organization's status as an Orange County department. The <br />original By -laws were created with the intent that the Visitors Bureau would separate from county <br />government within its first year into an independent, non - profit agency. <br />After six months of review and research, the committee's suggested revisions were submitted to the <br />county attorney for review. Mr. Gledhill's suggestions were incorporated into the document, which <br />was then provided to the Visitors Bureau Board in February 1999 for review. The Board reviewed <br />the revised document at its April 20 board meeting. The group voted unanimously to recommend <br />that the Board of Commissions adopt the revised By -laws. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact is attributable to adopting the document. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the revised By -Laws. <br />
