At the beginning of each fiscal year (FY), the Parks & Recreation Commission (Commission) elects a Chair to facilitate the monthly meetings and a Vice Chair that presides over the meeting in the event the Chair is unavailable. 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 and Vice Chair will be elected at the May 2025 Regular Meeting of the Commission. Commissioners may nominate any individual commissioner to serve in each position (Chair, Vice Chair). Nominated commissioners can either accept or decline. If they accept the nomination, then the Chair will allow for discussion, public comment, and then call for a vote. Commissioners will vote for one candidate to serve in each role. The commissioner who receives the most votes for each position will assume the responsibilities of the role for which they were elected starting in July 2025.
