39. REVISIONS TO HEAD START ZERO-FIVE POLICY COUNCIL BY-LAWS Approve revisions to the Maricopa County Head Start Zero-Five Policy Council Bylaws. This revision modifies Article 3 Membership and Duties, Section 3.1B2 Membership, in revising the By-Laws by: adding the option for the Board of Supervisors to appoint a non-voting liaison to serve as their representative to the Policy Council. If a non-voting liaison is selected in lieu of appointing a Board member, the liaison would not be included as part of the quorum required to conduct Policy Council business. This revision will become effective upon approval by the Board of Supervisors. This action is non-financial and will not affect the County General Fund. This revision addresses the requirement that no Policy Council member may serve more than three terms lifetime on the Policy Council, while still providing options that allow for the Board of Supervisors to remain actively involved in the program. Both the Board of Supervisors and the Head Start Policy Council must approve the Policy Council Bylaws as required by the Head Start Act Section 642.c(1)(E)(iv)(VI). The Maricopa County Head Start Zero-Five Program Policy Council approved this By-Law revision at the August 26, 2011 Policy Council meeting. (C-22-12-029-M-00)
