Consideration of Co-chair Terms to be One-Year or Two-Year Term
Commissioners to discuss and vote on Co-Chair office term. Currently, it is a one-year term; however, Co-chairs can be nominated and elected to remain in their seats for an additional year based on unanimous vote from the Commissioners.
The following is the an excerpt from the Board and Commission Members' Rules and Operations Manual:
Who Runs the Meeting? The chair is the presiding officer in all commission proceedings. During the absence of the chair, the vice-chair acts as chair. If neither the chair nor vice-chair can attend the meeting there is no formal order of who would take over and the members in attendance can choose a presiding officer for the meeting. Chairs and vice-chairs normally serve for a predetermined period of time (for example, one or two years). Commissions elect their own chair and vice-chair by having a member make a motion to select another member as chair. If seconded by another member, the nomination is voted on by the commission. This process can be repeated for the vice-chair position. When it comes time to elect the leadership, the nomination process must be an agenda item. |
