CARLSBAD TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT (CTBID) BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ORIGINATO
CITY ATTY
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Board should elect a Chair and Vice-Chair to preside over meetings of the Carlsbad
Tourism Business Improvement District (CTBID).
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the first meeting of the CTBID the Board of Directors should elect a Chair and Vice-Chair
to preside over the meetings of the CTBID. The City Attorney will assist the Board in this
process. A suggested process is attached to this agenda bill.
Once these positions are filled, the Chairperson will proceed with presiding over the
remainder of the meeting and all future meetings. In the Chair's absence, the Vice-Chair
will be responsible for fulfilling the duties of the Chair.
From time to time it may be necessary for the Board to elect members to fill these positions.
Should this need arise, the City Attorney and staff will assist the Board with that process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The officers and Board Members of the CTBID do not receive any compensation for their
service on the board. Therefore the election of officers does not create any fiscal impact to
the CTBID.
EXHIBITS:

Process Outline
1. The Board may appoint a member to act as the election official to conduct
the election, appoint a facilitator for this role, or ask staff to conduct the
election.
2. The appointed election official will take nominations from the floor for
Chair of the CTBID. It is not necessary to call for a "second" for a
nomination. All members of the Board are eligible to hold the office of
Chair (or Vice-Chair). Any member of the Board may nominate any other
member. Members may nominate themselves.
3. After receiving the nominations, the appointed election official will close
nominations and call for a vote by the Board. If candidates are unopposed
or there's no major contest for an office, then voice vote may be taken. If
there is a major contest for an office, paper ballots may be used.
4. The candidate with the most votes (quorum of votes) will be CTBID Chair.
5. Repeat procedure for Vice-Chair.
