"According to the proposed agreements, both new boards would include five voting members with an annual stipend of $36,000 and two non-voting members and a CEO. The board members must have financial expertise and cannot be employees of the city or affiliated with any of its unions. It’s not clear who would appoint the trustees."

Contrast that to the current boards, who are ALL current or former employees and many of who receive the position as a political appointment.
