ERFRA is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of <br /> six members elected by the membership, the Mayor,finance director, and fire chief,who serve as Ex- <br /> officio voting members of the Board of Trustees. <br /> ERFRA has by-laws that act as operating procedures to ensure compliance with Minnesota Statute 424A. <br /> It has been several years since a complete by-law update has been completed. The Board of Trustees <br /> hired David Ganfield,Apple Valley Fire Relief Administrator and retired firefighter Bob Pearson to <br /> review our by-laws and provide recommendations on updates. <br /> Over the past year, the Board of Trustees reviewed the updates and they were approved on August 3. <br /> The Elk River firefighters approved them on October 29. <br /> Members of the Board of Trustees will be at the meeting to review the by-law updates with the City <br /> Council. Upon Council feedback the by-laws will go to a regular meeting for approval. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Summary of changes <br /> ■ Elk River Relief Association by-laws (Updated) <br /> ■ Elk River Relief Association by-laws (Previous version) <br /> POWERED 6T <br /> Template Updoted 4/14 INAMIRE1 <br />
