RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Solano Consolidated Oversight Board consider nominating and electing one member to serve as Chairperson and one member to serve as Vice Chairperson for the Board.
DISCUSSION:
A Chairperson of the Board should be selected to preside over the Board's meetings in order to conduct business. The Chairperson, as the presiding officer, essentially runs the meetings by maintaining order and keeping discussion on point with the agenda. A Vice Chairperson should also be selected to preside over the meeting when the Chairperson is unavailable. A Vice Chairperson typically performs the same duties as the Chairperson, when the Chairperson is absent.
Given the lack of a Chairperson or Vice Chairperson at this first meeting of the Board, staff will open and close nominations to the Board for Chairperson followed by a vote. Since the Board has seven members, four affirmative votes are needed to pass a motion as a simple majority. The process will be repeated for Vice Chairperson.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact is associated with this item.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may choose not to appoint a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson; however, this alternative is not recommended as a member must be appointed to be the presiding officer.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
