adoption:
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 421 of 1989, the Dutchess County Legislature created at
Citizens Advisory Committee on Domestic Violence, by which seven members were to be
appointed by the Chair of the Legislature, subject to confirmation by the County Legislature; and

Resolution No. 421 of 1989 to expand membership of the Committee from seven to nine
members; and

the committee from nine to twelve members; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 153 of 1991, the Dutchess County Legislature
inadvertently purported to expand membership from nine to eleven members, and, once the
resulting discrepancy was noted, the Dutchess County Legislature repealed Resolution No. 153
of 1991, by Resolution No. 42 of 1993; and
WHEREAS, it has been deemed advisable that the Citizen’s Advisory Committee on
Domestic Violence be restructured with respect to membership and establishing terms and a

RESOLVED, that Resolutions No. 421 of 1989, 325 of 1990, and 356 of 1990 are
amended to provide as follows:
