"Dub" Rogers, jr. . rs l'syor " City' of Lubbock bth Street Lub ock, Texas a Re: By-laws of Lubbock City -County Welfare Board ` Dear ftDub" : recently come to tner attention of the Lubbock county Commissioners' Court that a clarification of the, by-laws of the City-=ounty welfare will result in a clearer understanding of the luti�s and functions off' the. Board. - In establishing the board it was the intention of the City and County to create an advisory board such'as the other advisory boards which • the,City and County have maintained. However, on close scrutiny, the ' by -lags of the Welfare hoard contain several paragraphs with the implication that the board is required to concern itself with adatnistrative and operational duties. .,Wa:Iiave an extremely good and conscientious Board and they have un3er- stepdably been somewhat misled by the by-laws an to ,the extent of their responsibility and authority. •': i- Veyreeently had our County Attorney to evaluate the by-laws and I enclose a copy•of'his January 31, 1968 opinion wherein he points out - that it is :mandatory that the Board must be strictly construed as an Advisory Board only and he suggested the necessary changes in the byf- ,5 IsMi to remove any implication. -,to the contrary. :•After I. -bad first conferred with Bill Smith, Chairman of the Board a,;reed thRt such changes should be made in order that the Board "would more clearly understand its functions, the Commisssoners { Court '°'''on`Februaxy 12, 1968 approved a proposed• joint resolution which changes the . by-laws in compliance with the County. Attorney { s opinion. Your bity •Attorney has been given a copg.'of. each -opinion. -for his examination. •� f f• , . 9onorable id. D.
