Is everybody ready? <br />AGENDA ITEM 2: SELECTION OF CHAIRNICE-CHAIR FOR 2011 <br />Judith Wegner. We have to decide on a Chair and Vice-Chair. I will entertain nominations or volunteers. <br />Mark Marcoplos: What has happened in the past? <br />Judith Wegner. What's happened in the past, the last couple of years Brian agreed to serve again. I agreed to serve again. I <br />think the tradition, as best I know, is two to three years for the Chair and then some rotation depending on what is going on in the <br />Board. I didn't ask Brian if he'd serve again, I think he probably would, I'd be happy to release ~ce-Chair and defer to somebody <br />else who'd like to do that so we'd have some continuity as well as some shift in change. <br />Lany Wright: Hasn't he been Chair for two sessions? <br />Judith Wegner: Two years, right and I've been Vice-Chair for two years. As best I know there isn't a limit. Is there anyone would <br />consider serving as Chair? <br />Larry Wright: I'd serve as Chair. <br />Judith Wegner: Anybody else want to be considered as Chair or nominate Brian to serve again? <br />Mark Marcoplos: Do you know if Brian will serve again. <br />Judith Wegner: No, but he hasn't indicated that he didn't want to serve again. My sense is that he would be willing. If you want <br />to we can have a closed ballot to have everybody have paper and fill in their choice and we can do something similar for Vice- <br />Chair so if say Brian was elected Chair, Larry if you'd consider serving as Uce-Chair. <br />Craig Benedict: Brian has said he'd be willing to serve. <br />Judith Wegner: The Chair does meet with staff every month to set the agenda and works with the County Commissioners and <br />Chair when we have a public hearing. Ok are there other candidates beside Brian and Lany that would like to volunteer? Ok, is <br />
