SUMMARY:
Rule 2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules (Exhibit 20-A) states that in
December of each year, the Board will elect a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and
Secretary. The rules also specify that
election of officers shall be the final item on the December meeting agenda. The officers elected at the meeting will
assume their positions immediately following the December Board meeting. The term of office is twelve months.
On April 16, 2007, the Board
adopted Meeting Rule 2.5 that specifies rotation of the Vice-Chair into the
position of Chair (Exhibit 20-A). Presently, Division 1 Director Edwards is
Vice-Chair and according to the rule would rotate into the position of Chair
for the next year. Rule 2.5 states that
in December 2007, the Division 2 Director will be selected as the next Vice
Chair. The Division 2 Director is
Rule 2.5 also states “should the
current Vice Chair decline to serve as incoming Chair, the Board shall select
the Director next in rotation to serve as Chair. Should the Director next in
rotation for the position of Vice Chair decline to serve in that capacity, the
Board shall select the next Director in rotation to serve as Vice Chair.”
It has been the Board’s past
practice to elect the General Manager to serve as Secretary and the
Administrative Services Manager to serve as Treasurer, and continuation of that
practice is recommended for 2008.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Board should determine if the current Vice-Chair agrees to serve as
Chair for 2008 and if the Division 2 Director agrees to serve as Vice Chair for
2008, and elect the Chair and Vice Chair according to the rotation shown in
Rule 2.5. The Board could also decide
to elect the Chair and Vice-Chair by another method. Staff recommends that the General Manager be
elected to serve as Secretary and that the Administrative Services Manager
serve as Treasurer for 2008.
