REPORT TO MEASURE Z CITIZEN COMMITTEE
To: Honorable Members of the Committee
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Nicole Dailey, Assistant to the City Manager
Date: May 13, 2021
Subject: Selection of a Chair and Vice Chair for the Committee
Recommendation
Appoint a Chair and Vice Chair for the Measure Z Citizen Committee to serve the Committee
through July 2022.
Background
City Commissions, Boards, and Committees are governed by City Council Policy No. 200-5A. In
this policy, attached as Exhibit A, the Chair and Vice Chair are selected upon establishment of
the Committee. The term of service is for one year with a new nomination and selection
process typically occurring each July.
Members of the Committee may nominate any member to serve as the Chair. More than one
member may be nominated. A vote is then conducted as to each nomination and the member
receiving a majority vote is selected as Chair. This same process is then repeated for selection
of the Vice Chair.
Generally, the role of Chair is to preside over the Committee meetings. The Chair serves as the
official spokesperson of the Committee and may be asked to review meeting agendas in
advance, if needed. The duty of the Vice Chair is to preside in the absence of the Chair.
Discussion
The Measure Z Citizen Committee is only required to meet a minimum of two times per year
pursuant to City Council Policy No. 200-5. Given the limited meeting schedule, and rather than
selecting a Chair and Vice Chair to serve only through this upcoming July, staff recommends
the Committee appoint a Chair and Vice Chair to serve in these roles through July 2022.
During the meeting, staff will ask for nominations from the Committee for a Chair followed by a
roll call vote as to each nomination. Once a Chair is selected, the Chair will then ask for
nominations for Vice Chair followed by another roll call vote of the Committee.
