body
Financial Impact:
None.
Background Information:
Staff recommends the Commission adopt Resolution No. 06-2025 to:
1. change officer terms from fiscal year (July 1-June 30) to calendar year (January 1-December 31), and
2. add language specifying the timing of officer elections and the process for filling vacancies.
Transition (recommended): Current officers continue through December 31, 2025. The first calendar-year election will occur at the first regular meeting in January 2026; thereafter, terms run January 1-December 31.
Background/Discussion
The bylaws currently state that terms run July 1 through June 30 with the fiscal year creating an internal timing conflict with the sub-committee elections. This amendment resolves the inconsistency by aligning office terms and elections to the calendar year.
Proposed Bylaw Text (Redline of Section 4: Term of Office)
• Current:
“Terms of office shall be one (1) year, July 1 through June 30 with the fiscal year.”
• Amended Section 4 (if adopted):
“Terms of office shall be one (1) year, July 1 through June 30 with the fiscal year January 1 through December 31. During the first meeting of the calendar year, a Chair and Vice Chair will be elected by the Commission and serve for one calendar year. If an officer resigns, a new officer shall be appointed at the next meeting.”
Note: Strikethrough = deleted; bold = added.
• Clean final text (if adopted):
“Section 4: Term of Office. Terms of office shall be one (1) year, January 1 through December 31. During the first meeting of the calendar year, a Chair and Vice Chair will be elected by the Commission and serve for one calendar year. If an officer resigns, a new officer shall be appointed at the next meeting.”
