2. Review Possible Changes to Committee System —The handout Valerie Burd
prepared on Committee Structure should be integrated into the Governance
Ordinance. The rotation of the Chairman and Vice Chairman should start in April
of 2006. An election is not going to be held until April of 2007. The 4 Senior
Aldermen would select a Chairmanship and then the 4 other Aldermen would
select a Vice Chairmanship. The year following, the Vice Chair would become the
Chair, and the former Chair would become a Vice Chair on a different committee.
The committees could be given a numbering system so everyone knew that after
they were a Chair of committee#1, they would then become the Vice Chair of
committee 42. After each election, the 4 Senior Aldermen would select a
Chairmanship. If Chairman should resign during their term, the Vice Chair
would finish out the Chairman's term. Then they would continue to Chair for tile
second year in which they would have been the Chair if that person had not
resigned.
