ITEM:
Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the recommendation to City Council to reappoint or appoint directors to the Board of the San Luis Facilities Development Corporation for the terms that expired on July 29, 2021, and to fill a vacancy. (Kay Marion Macuil, General Counsel for the Board and City Attorney)
SUMMARY:
San Luis Facility Development Corporation ("SLFDC")
Creation of Corporation
The San Luis City Council created the SLFDC in 2005 under A.R.S. 10-3201 et seq., which allows any entity or person to create a non-profit organization, Non-Profit Corporations.
Purpose: The purpose of this Corporation was to finance, own and/or operate one (1) or more public projects for economic development in the City of San Luis.
Status: The SLFDC owns the San Luis Regional Detention and Support Center and issued the bonds that constructed the facility. The SLFDC hires an operator to run the facility. The operator's contract will be up for renegotiation in 2024.
Eligibility for Appointment to the Board: Members' only requirement is to be an adult resident of San Luis, Arizona.
The Board: The Board Members volunteer their time as the positions are unpaid, therefore there is no fiscal impact. The terms of all the San Luis Facility Development Corporation members expired on July 29, 2021. By the function of law, the terms carry over until City Council acts. Staff recommends reappointment of all the members due to the need to have the Board experienced with the particular contracts they oversee. All current Board Members expressed their willingness to continue serving.
Due to the sad passing of John Starkey on March 19, 2020, there is one (1) vacancy. John served as the Board's Vice President from its inception. Staff recommends appointing an employee to this vacancy because federal documents often need to be signed by a Board Officer on short notice.
Mr. Eulogio Vera, Director of Public Works, expressed interest in serving on this Board and staff is recommending him to fill the vacancy.
