KPPPA board forms 180‑day ad hoc governance and bylaw update committee after amendment

The board approved creation of a 180‑day ad hoc committee on governance and bylaw updates to review and recommend changes to KPPPA governance documents. The chair proposed the committee after noting statutory changes and recent cross‑board discrepancies that trustees and staff had flagged.

Board discussion focused on whether to wait for an Attorney General opinion on discrete jurisdictional questions before forming the committee and on whether the committee’s charge should reference which body has ultimate authority over specific decisions. Trustees who raised concerns were satisfied when the chair agreed to remove a single contested sentence (a line that could be read as assigning ownership of certain decisions to one board rather than addressing the committee’s preventive role).

After amendment, the motion passed on roll call. The chair said the committee will be evenly split between the C and K members and will present a set of proposed amendments and an implementation plan to the full board within 180 days; any final changes remain subject to full‑board approval.
