SUMMARY: Rule 2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules states that in December of each year, the Board will elect a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. Rule 2.5 specifies the rotation of Directors into the position of Chair and Vice-Chair. 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.

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.

The rotation is listed as follows:

Calendar Year	Chair	Chair Name	Vice Chair
2023 2024 2025 2026 2027	Supervisor Division 5 Division 2 Mayoral Rep Division 3	Adams Anderson Riley Vacant Eisenhart	Division 5 Division 2 Mayoral Rep Division 3 Division 1

RECOMMENDATION: The Board confirm the rotation of Directors into the positions of Board Chair and Vice Chair according to Meeting Rules 2 and 2.5 (Exhibit 16-A); Director Anderson would take the position of Vice Chair and Supervisor/Director Adams would move into the position of Chair. In addition, staff recommends that General Manager, David J. Stoldt be elected to serve as Secretary and that ASD Manager, Suresh Prasad be elected to the position of Treasurer for 2022.
