AMPBID Annual Meeting and board elections - October 13
Should the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District's reauthorization be successful for another 5 Year Term, we will hold the Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 13th, 2010 at 5pm, at the Third District Police Headquarters, 1620 V Street, NW. Postcards are being mailed to all property owners and business owners this week to save the date.
AMPBID Annual Meeting Election Process
At the October 13th Annual Meeting, BID members will have the opportunity to vote for candidates for 5 board slots: three property owners and two business owners. The board members currently holding those positions have all indicated they will will be running for another term. Those are:
Property Owners:
Stephen Greenleigh
Pat Patrick
Jeffrey Schonberger
Business Owners:
Al Jirikowic
Justin Abad
Each person eligible for election as a member of the Board may also be nominated by a member petition submitted to the Chair of the Nominating Committee (Constantine Stavropoulos) or dropped off at the AMPBID office at 1802 Belmont Road, NW at least 30 days prior to the date of the meeting
Tuesday September 13
; provided that only business owners can nominate business owners and property owners can only nominate property owners and a petition shall require the signature of no less than ten (10) members to nominate a member of the Board. Each nominee either shall be present at the annual meeting or shall consent to such nomination by a written document.
Voting
Per the by-laws, any properties for which BID taxes are over 60 days delinquent, may not vote nor may they nominate members to the board.
For each class of member, the ballot will list all the candidate names, and members will vote for the number of open slots in that category. For example, there are two business owner slots. All members will have the opportunity to vote for two candidates from the list of all business owner candidates.
Proxies
Proxy votes are allowed.
Pursuant to the BID bylaws, those interested in voting in the board elections by proxy can either contact the BID to request a proxy form, or can develop their own form, as long as it includes: the date of the meeting at which it is applicable (October 14) full names, addresses and the dated signatures of both the individual issuing the proxy and the individual who received the signature of the witness(es) to the signatures that also lists the full name and address of the witness. All proxy forms must meet all these criteria to be accepted. The BID will have a proxy form available by fax, mail and by email.
Any questions on this process, please call Kristen at the BID office 202-997-0783 or email her at: Kbarden@adamsmorganonline.org.
