SUMMARY: Mayor Rubio is retiring and will not seek re-election in the November 6, 2018 general election. As such, the new Mayoral Representative will not have the requisite 12-months experience on the District Board to serve as Chair. In that instance, pursuant to District Meeting Rule 2.5 “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.” The next Director in the rotation to serve as Chair would be Division 3, Director Evans. By making the appointment of Director Evans to Vice Chair now, the need for an election of Chair is avoided and the normal rotation is kept intact.

RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends the Board accept the resignation of Mayor Rubio as Vice Chair and appoint Director Evans as Vice Chair, both effective as of the close of the October 15, 2018 Board meeting.
