Body
Under the County Rules, "The Transportation Board shall elect a chair and a vice chair from among its members at its first regular meeting after January 1 of each year."
The Rules give further guidance on the responsibilities which include presiding at official meetings; acting as the official spokesperson; keeping members informed of events, meetings and other occasions; ensuring that members are informed of significant communications directed to the chair; providing an annual presentation to Council; and working on the development of the meeting agendas.
Past practice has been to put this item of election of the chair and the vice chair at the beginning of the first meeting of the year. The chair from the past year will preside over the election for both the new chair and the vice chair taking nominations, then comments from members and members will vote for Chair and Vice Chair. Once the election for both positions is accomplished, the new chair will then preside over the remainder of the meeting.
