Community Heritage Commission (CHC)
TO: Committee Members MEETING: January 13, 2022
FROM: Committee Clerk
SUBJECT: Chair and Vice Chair Selection
BACKGROUND:
The goal of the Chairperson is to ensure that the Commission 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 previous Chair or Council Liaison 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 are willing to serve), voting will be done virtually via
Zoom. Each member will send a private Zoom chat message to the Committee Clerk with their vote.
The Committee Clerk will compile all the votes and submit the results to the Acting Chair.
The Acting Chair 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 2022. Once the Chair and Vice Chair have been
appointed, the meeting can be turned over or the previous Chair or Council Liaison 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 Community Heritage Commission for 2022.
That ____________ be appointed as Vice Chair of the Community Heritage Commission for 2022.
