Last fall, staff took over the operations and management of the Grapevine

profit corporation is necessary. Staff worked with the City Attorney to develop the
Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws
Under the Articles, the City Council appoints at least three and up to 25 Directors. The
Director of Parks & Recreation will also be a voting member of the Board. Staff worked
