SUBJECT
Title
Elect Rick Andrews to serve as Chair for FY 2025/26 Senior Advisory Commission
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
At the October 20, 2025 Senior Advisory Commission meeting, Commissioners nominated Commissioner Andrews for the role of Chair, but didn't follow the formal procedural to make a motion and affirm the nomination with a second, then recording the vote. At the January 26 meeting, the Senior Advisory Commission will formalize the election of Chair Andrews.
