Once a group of people or council has demonstrated the ability to do this, then proposals to give it a wider bailiwick will get a better response.

Once a group of people has demonstrated such an ability, may be they do not need a Board resolution any more. May be they do not even need the Board.
Having said this, I would like to support the rest of your posts in that currently it looks like we only have bottom-up solutions, no top-down solutions.
