SUBJECT
Title
Senior Advisory Commission Election of Vice Chair for Remaining FY 2024/25 Term
Report
BACKGROUND
At the beginning of each fiscal year (FY), the Senior Advisory Commission elects a Chair to facilitate the monthly meetings and a Vice Chair to serve as the meeting facilitator should the Chair be unavailable. The role of the Chair is to facilitate monthly meetings, speak at City Council meetings when necessary, and work with the Staff Liaison on preparing the agenda. The role of the Vice Chair is to fulfill the role and responsibilities of the Chair, when the Chair is not available.
DISCUSSION
The Vice Chair role for the Senior Advisory Commission is vacant due to a resignation of a Commissioner in January 2025. The Vice Chair that is elected must be a current member of the Senior Advisory Commission. The Chair will lead a discussion regarding nomination(s) by the commissioners of an individual to fill this vacant position. Individuals nominated can either accept or decline the nomination. Commissioners may vote for a candidate to serve in the role of Vice Chair for the remaining FY 2024/25.
