Through discussions with the partner counties - Alamance, <br />Chatham, and Durham, several minor changes were recommended. Those changes are to <br />Section 6.01 and changes the initial number of directors from 12 to 13, reduces the maximum <br />number of directors from 18 to 17, and provides for at-large appointments of directors. No other <br />changes are recommended at this time. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to modifying the by-laws. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the by-laws as <br />amended. <br />
