EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

With the concurrence of the City Council, in 2010 the certificate of formation was filed outlining the Sugar Land Legacy Foundation (SLLF) is a non-profit corporation established to support “the City of Sugar Land, Texas, in the City’s acquisition, ownership, construction, development, improvement, operation, or maintenance of land and facilities owned or controlled by the City of Sugar Land, including land, facilities, and activities for recreation, entertainment, sports, the arts, and similar activities that might benefit the citizens of the City of Sugar Land.”

 

City Council approved the SLLF bylaws in June 2010 and appointed the first Board of Directors in October 2010. The SLLF bylaws state that “The City Council appoints the persons to serve as the directors on the Board, will fill vacancies on the Board, and may remove a director at any time.” Recently four board positions came up for renewal, including Directors Mr. Sunny Sharma, Mr. Paul Likhari, Mr. Brent Leftwich and Mr. Bill Jameson. Mr. Sharma, Mr. Likhari and Mr. Leftwich have responded in the affirmative to continue their service as board members.  Mr. Sunny Sharma has agreed to continue his term as the Board President for an additional one-year term, in keeping with the bylaws. Mr. Jameson has completed his term and does not wish to be considered for reappointment. Ms. Dee Koch has been recommended for appointment to fill Mr. Jameson's position.

 

At this time, it is recommended that City Council take action to (1) reappoint three board members - Mr. Sunny Sharma, Mr. Paul Likhari and Mr. Brent Leftwich, (2) appoint Ms. Dee Koch to fill a board position; and (3) reappoint Mr. Sunny Sharma as President.
