SUMMARY: Rule
2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules (Exhibit 17-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.
Meeting Rule 2.5 specifies rotation of
the Vice-Chair into the position of Chair (Exhibit 17-A). Presently, Division 3 Director Markey is
Vice-Chair and according to the rule would rotate into the position of Chair
for the next year. The Division 4 Director
would then rotate into the position of Vice
Chair. The Division 4 Director is
Regina Doyle.
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 2009.
RECOMMENDATION: The
Board should determine if the current Vice-Chair agrees to serve as Chair for
2009 and if the Division 4 Director agrees to serve as Vice Chair for 2009, 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 2009.
