The role of the Chair is to facilitate monthly meetings, speak at City Council meetings when necessary to convey the work of the Commission, and to work with the Staff Liaison on preparation of the Commission meeting agendas. The role of the Vice Chair is to fulfill the role and responsibilities of the Chair when the Chair is not available.
DISCUSSION
A new Chair was elected at the May 2025 Regular Meeting, and the Commission voted to continue the election of the Vice Chair to the June 2025 Regular Meeting of the Commission. Commissioners may nominate any individual commissioner to serve in the position (Vice Chair). Nominated commissioners can either accept or decline. If they accept the nomination, the Chair will allow for discussion, public comment, and then call for a vote.
