The following provisions shall apply with respect to officers of the Steering Committee:
(A) The officers of the Steering Committee shall be a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer. The President and the Secretary shall be elected for a one-year term by a majority of the members then in office; provided that if an officer's term expires, he shall continue to serve until his successor is elected and qualified. Officers may succeed themselves through re-election. The Steering Committee may elect such other officers as it shall deem desirable, including one or more Vice Presidents, such officers to have the authority and to perform the duties prescribed, from time to time, by the Steering Committee. The same individual may simultaneously hold more than one office in the Steering Committee.
(B) Any officer may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the President, or in the event the President seeks resignation, to the Secretary. A resignation is effective when the notice is received unless the notice states a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date, the Steering Committee may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Steering Committee provides that the successor shall not take office until the effective date of the resignation.
(C) Any officer may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the members then in office, at any time during a duly called meeting, for any reason.
(D) In the case of absence or inability to act of any officer of the Steering Committee or any person duly authorized to act in his place, the Steering Committee may delegate the powers and duties of such individual to any other officer, to any member, or to any other person whom it may select. Vacancies in any office may be filled by the Steering Committee at any regular or special meeting.
(E) The President shall be the principal executive officer of the Steering Committee and, subject to the control of the Steering Committee, shall in general supervise and control all of the business and affairs of the Steering Committee. He shall, when present, preside at all meetings of the Steering Committee. He may sign, with the Secretary attesting (as applicable given the circumstances) documents, certifications, agreements and letters which the Steering Committee has authorized to be executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the Steering Committee to some other officer or agent of the Steering Committee, or shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or executed; and in general shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as may be prescribed by the Steering Committee from time to time.
(F) The Secretary shall be the Clerk to County Council. The Secretary shall keep the minutes and records of the Steering Committee, see that all notices are duly given in accordance with the provisions of this code of ordinances or as required by law and in general perform all duties incident to the office of Secretary and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the President or by the Steering Committee.
(G) The Treasurer of the Steering Committee shall be the County Treasurer. The Treasurer shall (a) have charge and custody of and be responsible for all funds of the Steering Committee, if any; (b) execute, deliver and administer all grants, private donations and other funds received by or for the benefit of the Riverbend Park or the Steering Committee; and (c) in general perform all of the duties incident to the office of Treasurer and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the County Council. All funds received by, appropriated to or otherwise earmarked for the benefit of the Steering Committee (including grants and private donations) shall be exclusively controlled and governed by the county, acting through the County Treasurer, under the terms of the then-applicable county budget as may be revised, amended or updated from time to time. Other than the Treasurer, no Member shall have any authorization to write checks, or administer any funds associated with the operation of the Steering Committee.
(H) Officers (in fulfilling their duties to the Steering Committee) shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Steering Committee consistent with the other reimbursement provisions herein.
