Election of Committee Officers. The Committee shall annually elect a chairperson and a vice chairperson from among the Committee’s membership. The Committee will have as a standard that the position of chairperson will rotate annually between the member towns. For example, in the first year that the District is in existence, the chairperson will be elected without regard for where s/he resides. In year two, however, the chair will be elected from members who reside in the other member town. This rotation will then be maintained in future years. By a two-thirds vote, the Committee may in any given year deviate from this standard regarding the rotating chairmanship. The vice chairperson in any given year will be drawn from those members who reside in the member town different from where that year’s chairperson resides. The Committee will also appoint a treasurer who will not be a member of the Committee, and the Committee will also appoint a secretary who may or may not be a member of the Committee. The election of such officers will occur at the Committee’s first regularly scheduled meeting held after the last of the annual elections in the member towns. Such officers will exercise the powers expressed and implied in G.L. chapter 71, section 16A.
