SUMMARY: Rule
2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules (Exhibit
24-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 24-A). Presently, Division 5 Director Brower serves
as Vice-Chair and according to the rule would rotate into the position of Chair
for the next year. The Director representing
the
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 Division (ASD) Manager to serve as
Treasurer. However, because the current
ASD Manager is scheduled to retire at the end of December 2010 and this
position will be vacant until a new ADS Manager is hired, it is recommended
that the Board elect the General Manager to serve as Secretary and Treasurer in
2011. Once a new ASD Manager is hired,
the Board can conduct a new election to elect the new ASD Manager to serve as
Treasurer.
RECOMMENDATION: The
Board should determine if the current Vice-Chair agrees to serve as Chair for
2011 and if the representative for the County of Monterey agrees to serve as
Vice Chair for 2011, 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. In addition, staff recommends that the
General Manager be elected to serve as Secretary and Treasurer for 2011.
