Agenda 12/11/2012 Item # 2D12/11/2012 Item 2.D.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to (1) remove Commissioner Coyle as Chairman, (2) appoint a new
Chairman to serve the remainder of Commissioner Coyle's term, and (3) appoint a new
Vice- Chairman to serve the remainder of Commissioner Coletta's term, with both terms
expiring the first Board meeting of January, 2013.
OBJECTIVE: To appoint a new Chairman and Vice - Chairman.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The Board's Meeting's Ordinance (Ord. 75 -16, as amended), provides in relevant part as
follows:
,,Presiding officer, election, duties. The presiding Chairman and Vice - Chairman
shall be elected by a majority of the members of the Board of County
Commissioners and said election shall occur at the first regularly scheduled Board
meeting in January of each year. In the event that the Chairman and /or the Vice -
Chairman are not reelected as Commissioners in any given year, unless a Special
Meeting is called, the Board of County Commissioners shall elect a Chairman
and/or Vice - Chairman, as applicable, at the first regularly scheduled Board
meeting on or after the second Tuesday after the election to temporarily serve
until the first regularly scheduled Board meeting in January at which time the
scheduled election shall take place. However, the Chairman and the Vice -
Chairman shall serve at the pleasure of the Board."
As the Chairman "serves at the pleasure of the Board," I am requesting that the Board remove
Commissioner Coyle as Chairman and appoint a new Chairman to fill out the remainder of his
term.
Since the Vice - Chairman, Commissioner Coletta, was not re- elected, in keeping with the
Ordinance I am requesting that the Board appoint a new Vice - Chairman to fill out the remainder
of Commissioner Coletta's term.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This matter has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is
legally sufficient, and requires majority support for action. —JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board (1) remove Commissioner Coyle as Chairman, (2)
appoint a new Chairman to serve the remainder of Commissioner Coyle's term, and (3) appoint a
new Vice - Chairman to serve the remainder of Commissioner Coletta's term, with both terms
expiring the first Board meeting of January, 2013.
