SUMMARY:
Rule 2 of the MPWMD Board Meeting Rules (Exhibit 15-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 15-A). Presently, David Potter the Monterey County
Board of Supervisors representative serves as Vice-Chair and according to the
rule would rotate into the position of Chair for the next year. The Mayoral Representative David Pendergrass 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.” From time to time,
the Boards has chosen to waive Rule 2.5 and elect its
Chair and Vice Chair by another method.
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 2012.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Board should determine if the current Vice-Chair agrees to serve as
Chair for 2012 and if the Mayoral Representative agrees to serve as Vice Chair
for 2012, 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 the ASD Manager be elected
to the position of Treasurer for 2012.
