Narrative
The election of DCHC MPO Board officers for the upcoming calendar year occurs during the last MPO Board meeting of every year. In November 2015 the MPO Board Chair appointed Council Member Steve Schewel and Commissioner James Crawford to the MPO Board Officer Nominating Committee and requested that the Nominating Committee bring recommendations for a 2016 Chair and Vice-Chair back to the MPO Board in December. The MPO Board Chair also appointed Steve Schewel to serve as Interim Chair for the December meeting until the new Chair and Vice-Chair are elected.
The MPO Board Bylaws state that the term for Chair and Vice-Chair are one-year and officers cannot serve more than two consecutive terms. In addition, the Chair shall rotate among the jurisdictions represented in Durham County, Orange County, and Chatham County so that successive Chairs come from different counties. For example, if the Chair is from the City of Durham or Durham County, the next Chair shall be from Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Orange County, or Chatham County. The Vice-Chair shall be from a jurisdiction located in one of the two other counties.
