Title
Senior Advisory Commission Election of Chair and Vice Chair for FY 2025/26
Report
BACKGROUND
At the beginning of each Fiscal Year (FY), the Senior Advisory Commission appoints a Chair and Vice Chair. The Chair facilitates the monthly meetings, speaks at City Council meetings when necessary, and works with the Staff Liaison on preparing the agenda. The Vice-Chair serves in these roles in the event the Chair is unavailable.
DISCUSSION
The Senior Advisory Commission may nominate individuals for Chair and Vice-Chair. Individuals nominated can either accept or decline the nomination. Commissioners then vote for candidates for each position. The Commissioner with the majority votes in each role will assume the respective responsibilities at the next regular meeting of the Commission and continue through FY 2025/26.
