Title
Election of DCHC MPO Board Officers for 2017 (10 minutes)
Steve Schewel, Board Chair
Felix Nwoko, LPA Staff
Narrative
The election of DCHC MPO Board officers for the upcoming calendar year occurs during the last MPO Board meeting of every year. In November 2016 the MPO Board Chair appointed Committee members Bernadette Pelissier, Ellen Reckhow, Jim G. Crawford and Don Moffitt to the MPO Officer Nominating Committee and requested that the Nominating Committee bring recommendations for a 2017 Chair and Vice-Chair back to the MPO Board in December.
The MPO Board Bylaws state that the term for Chair and Vice-Chair are one-year and officers cannot serve more than two consecutive terms. In addition, the Chair shall rotate among the jurisdictions represented in Durham County, Orange County, and Chatham County so that successive Chairs come from different counties. For example, if the Chair is from the City of Durham or Durham County, the next Chair shall be from Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Orange County, or Chatham County. The Vice-Chair shall be from a jurisdiction located in one of the two other counties.
Steve Schewel and Damon Seils are in their first terms as Board Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, and are therefore eligible to serve another term in their current offices.
