The last CSDA bylaws updates were made in 2021 with the primary changes being Rights of Regular Membership, Retiree Membership, use of “member”, Procedure for Termination of Membership, Annual Report, and dual directorships with CSDA’s Alliance partner, Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA).
Following receipt of feedback and suggestions over the last few years from members, CSDA has conducted a review of the CSDA Bylaws making the necessary updates as well as additions or improvements. There are numerous verbiage and grammar updates as well as more significant proposed updates that include:
- Clarification that Retired Members as non-voting members
- Clarification related to termination of membership
- New Section under Article III, Section 2: Early Assumption of Office
- New Section under Article III, Section 2: Change in Regular Voting Member Affiliation
- Update noticing, balloting and election timeframes to allow some additional flexibility in the Board election process
- New Section under Article III, Section 7: A CSDA director shall be disqualified from serving on the CSDA Board if they are no longer a board member or managerial employee of a Regular Member district in the Network they were elected or appointed from
- Committee structure: amend to allow that Committee Vice-Chairs, with the exception of the CSDA Finance Corporation Committee, may be individuals from Regular Members districts in good standing
