Amended CRA by-laws and Executive Director designation
Summary
The CRA changed its by-laws to meet quarterly instead of every two months and to make the city's Economic & Housing Development Director the CRA's Executive Director, reporting to the City Manager rather than being hired by the CRA. Members debated whether this shifts power away from the commission but concluded the arrangement matches how the agency has always operated in practice.

Impact analysis
No direct cost — it's a governance change.
Better coordination between the CRA and city departments, and cleaner recruitment of future directors.
Critics note the CRA loses formal hiring authority over its director, relying on the City Manager instead.
