INITIATED BY: City Engineer
ITEMNO.6C
REQUESTED ACTION: Elect a new Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Traffic Safety
Commission to serve from August 2008 through July 2009.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, it has been customary for the Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) to rotate the
role of the Chairperson by electing a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson to serve a
one-year term beginning in August. Generally, after serving as Vice-Chairperson,
the Vice-Chairperson is elected the Chairperson of the Traffic Safety Commission for the
following year. The TSC policy has been for each Commissioner to serve one year as
Chairperson.
In past years, the Commission recommended that the terms of the Chairperson
and Vice-Chairperson run from August through the following July. The selection of
the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson is typically conducted each year at the June or July
meeting of the Traffic Safety Commission.
At the June 2007 meeting, Guy Roney was elected Chairperson to serve from August
2007 through July 2008. Mr. Roney was the Vice-Chairperson at the time of his election
to Chairperson.
In the absence of the Chairperson, the Vice-Chairperson conducts the meeting. Mr. Cress
is the current Vice-Chairperson. Commissioner Cress previously served as
the Chairperson of the Commission from June 2004 through June 2005.
Commissioner Dorsey served as Chairperson from August 2005 through August 2006.
Commissioner Cumming has not served as Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson.
RECOMMENDATION:
Elect a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, as determined by the Traffic Safety
Commission, to serve from August 2008 through July 2009.
NECESSARY CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
No action required.
