Municipal Advisory Committee on
Accessibility and Inclusiveness (MACAI)
TO: Committee Members MEETING:February 16, 2023
FROM: Committee Clerk
SUBJECT: Chair and Vice Chair Selection
BACKGROUND:
The goal of the Chairperson is to ensure that the Committee functions properly, that there is full
participation during meetings, that all relevant matters are discussed, and that effective decisions are
made and carried out.
There are three main spheres that the Chairperson has to manage:
•Assisting with the planning of meetings
•Running the meetings
•Ensuring that the Committee is achieving its goals
The Committee Clerk will chair the meeting as the Acting Chair until a new Chair is appointed or for the
duration of the meeting. During the meeting, the floor will be opened for Committee members to
nominate fellow members for the position of Chair and Vice Chair. In order for their name to stand, an
individual must accept the nomination.
If there are multiple nominations and nominees willing to serve, voting will be done through ballots. If
a Committee member is participating virtually, voting will be done virtually via Zoom. The Committee
member will send a private Zoom chat message to the Committee Clerk with their vote. The Committee
Clerk will compile all the votes and provide the results to the Committee.
The Committee Clerk will then ask if any member would like to put forward a motion that the selected
individual be appointed as Chair or Vice Chair for 2023. Once the Chair and Vice Chair have been
appointed, the meeting can be turned over to the appointed Chair or the Committee Clerk can continue
as the Acting Chair for the remainder of the meeting with approval from the newly elected Chair.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That _____________be appointed as Chair of the Municipal Advisory Committee on Accessibility
and Inclusiveness for 2023.
That be appointed as Vice Chair of the Municipal Advisory Committee on
Accessibility and Inclusiveness for 2023.
