The election of the Chair will be conducted by the Administrative City support staff ( Admin). No one Commissioner shall nominate more than one person for an office. Nominations do not require a second. The Admin will repeat each nomination, ask for further nominations, and when there are none the Admin will declare the nominations closed. A motion to close nominations is not necessary. After nominations have been closed, voting for the Chair takes place in the order nominations were made. Commissioners will be asked to vote by a raise of hands. As soon as one of the nominees receives a majority vote of the seated members the Admin will declare that Commissioner elected as the Chair. No votes will be taken on any remaining nominees. A tie vote results in a failed nomination. If none of the nominees receive a majority vote the Admin will call for nominations again and repeat the process until a single candidate receives a majority vote. Upon election the Chair will conduct the election for Vice -Chair following the same process. Should the Chair be vacated prior to the completion of the Term, the Vice -Chair will assume the duties and responsibilities of the Chair for the remainder of the Term. The Chair will then conduct elections for a new Vice - Chair. Should the Vice -Chair be vacated prior to the completion of the Term, the Chair will conduct elections for a new Vice -Chair to serve out the remainder of the Term. Time spent fulfilling a vacated Term shall not count towards the two consecutive Term limit for Chair and Vice - Chair.
