Nominate Chair and Vice-Chair of the Park and Recreation Commission

Each year, City Council makes appointments to their various subcommittees, with commissions and boards also expected to appoint a Chair and Vice-Chair for their respective entity.    

The purpose of this case is to establish the Commission’s Chair and Vice-Chair for 2015.  In terms of process, staff proposes nominations for first the Chair, and then after approval by the majority of voting Commissioners, the Vice-Chair also administered in the same manner.  It may be pointed out that, in that there is no official protocol for this process, the Commission may perform the nominations and/or the voting by paper 'ballots' forwarded to the Ex Officio as part of this case, if desired.
 
While there is a vacancy on the Commission, it is unlikely that a newly appointed Commissioner (anticipated to occur later this winter or early spring) would be nominated and supported to serve as Vice-Chair without some experience serving on the Park and Recreation Commission – therefore it seems appropriate to move forward at this time with Commission selection of both Chair and Vice-Chair.

 The Terms of Boards and Commission are from April 1^st through March 31^st of the respective year(s).  So for the nominations being discussed in this case, the positions should be considered to be valid until the April regular Commission meeting, at which time the Commission may address the positions for April 2015 to March 2016 by consensus or vote.
