TROY CO0" CENTItALINA CouNCIL OF GOVERN EN POST OFFICE BOX 35008 ONE OHARLOTTETOWN CENTER SECRETARY:TREASURER: DuKEW' M. LENFZpA CHARLOTTE, N.C. 28235 1300 BAXTER ST. 7041372-24i6 MENO DATE: November 19, 1981 . /? TO: County and City Managers, Town Clerks_~__~ George Monaghan, Executive Di~ector/~7---- The following is an excerpt from the Charter of the Centralina COG: "IT~. XI! Amendment of Charter---. A. The Council may formally recommend to the member governments a resolu- tion to amend the Charter by affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the representatives present at any meeting at which a quorum was present,---. Said amendment shall become effective when the resolution has been duly adopted by three-fourths of the member governmental units." At the November 10th meeting of the Centralina Council of Governments, the Council did formally recommend to the member governments three resolutions to amend the Charter.- This is what those resolution (attached) are all about: Resolution 1 makes our Charter consistent with ~he State Enabling Legislation (160A-471) under which local governments joing a COG by receiving majority ap- proval Eot membership of an applying government. Resolution 2 changes the manner in which member governments pay for special services received from Centralina. It permits member governments reimburse Centralina for the cost of special services rather than requiring that they pay for such services in advance. Resolution 3 does s number of things: First, it allows a delegate to receive up to $30.00 compensation for attending Council meetings. The presen~ maximum allowable compensation is $25.00 although in fact, by bylaw we only give $20.00 compensation. This change is reco~ended since we only amend the Charter every five years or so. If, durinm the next f~ years, the Council should wish to raise the compensation to $30.00 it could do so by Bylaw amendment if the Charter is chan~ed now. This compensation is nrovided because quite a few delegates have to travel a round trip distance of 60 go 100 miles ~o attend our meetings. We do not give them mileage for attending meetmngs.
