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. 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 2017.

RECOMMENDATION: The Board should elect the Board Chair and Vice Chair according to Meeting Rules 2 and 2.5 (Exhibit 17-A). 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 2017.
