Title
DCHC MPO Board Vice Chair Election (5 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
At its December 2021 meeting, the DCHC MPO Board elected Charlie Reece as its Vice Chair for 2022. However, Councilmember Reece was not appointed to serve as a voting member of the Board in 2022. Therefore, a new election must be held for a Vice Chair.
Per the Board’s bylaws, the Vice Chair must be from a jurisdiction in a county other than the one represented by the Chair. With Chair Weaver already installed, that means the Vice Chair cannot be someone representing Orange County, Chapel Hill, or Carrboro (the long standing interpretation has been that GoTriangle and Board of Transportation representatives are also not eligible). That leaves only four possible candidates for Vice Chair:
- Karen Howard
- Wendy Jacobs
- Javiera Caballero
- Leonardo Williams
The nominating committee will make a recommendation at the meeting.
Board Action
Board Action: Elect a Vice Chair for 2022.
