SUMMARY:
Rule 2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules (Exhibit 16-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 offices 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 16-A). Presently, Brenda Lewis, Division 1
representative, serves as Vice-Chair and according to the rule would rotate
into the position of Chair for 2014. The
Division 2 representative, Bill Thayer, would then rotate into the position of Vice
Chair.
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.” The rule also states, “If the Chair has
served less than 12 months at the time the annual December election of Board
officers is conducted, the Board shall, by majority vote, elect a Chair to
serve for that year, and thereafter the Chair rotation shall return to where it
had left off.”
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. Therefore, staff recommends
that the Board elect General Manager David Stoldt to serve as Secretary and Suresh
Prasad ASD Manager to serve as Treasurer in 2014.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Board should determine if the current Vice-Chair agrees to serve as
Chair for 2014 and if the Division 2 representative agrees to serve as Vice
Chair for 2014, and then elect the Chair and Vice-Chair according to procedures
outlined in Rule 2.5 In
addition, staff recommends that the General Manager be elected to serve as
Secretary and the ASD Manager be elected to the position of Treasurer for 2014.
