RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Solano Consolidated Oversight Board consider reaffirming its current Chairperson and Vice Chairperson to serve from July 2019 through December 2019.
DISCUSSION:
At the July 12, 2018 Board meeting The Bylaws were adopted in which Section 1: Officers and Officials, states “The term of office for the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson shall be one year and renewed annually”. Due to the lack of business of the Successor Agencies, there has only been one meeting since the Board was formed; therefore, the Board is being asked to reaffirm its current Chairperson and Vice Chairperson to serve from July 2019 through December 2019 and to conduct the annual selection at next year’s January 2020 meeting as there will always be a meeting in January for the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) approval.
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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No financial impact is associated with this item.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may choose not to reaffirm current Chairperson and Vice Chairperson for July 2019 through December 2019; however, this alternative is not recommended as Board would need to meet in July 2019 to appoint a new Chairperson and Vice Chairperson.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
