Title
MPO Board Elections (10 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
Per the MPO Board by-laws, officers are to be elected at the last regularly scheduled meeting of the calendar year. Terms of office are for one year, and no officer can serve in the same role for more than two consecutive terms. Since the current Chair, Steve Schewel, has served for the past two terms, he cannot be re-elected. Furthermore, the by-laws state that the Chair shall rotate from amongst representatives of the various counties, so the new Chair must come from either Orange or Chatham County.
The same rules regarding tenure apply to the Vice-Chair. Since the current Vice-Chair, Damon Seils, has served for two terms he cannot be re-elected to that position. The new Vice-Chair must come from a different county than the newly elected Chair.
At the November MPO Board meeting a nominations committee was formed. That committee will report its findings.
