Retreat Planning Meeting Reference Information: Role of the Chair The primary role of the Chair is to assist City staff with setting the agenda for the regular meetings of the PAC and to facilitate the activities of the regular meetings of the PAC. The Chair also serves on the Governance Task Force of the PAC and helps to strengthen the culture and efficiency of the PAC. The Chair works with the designated City staff, the Chair of the Cultural Advisory Board, and the Vice-Chair of PAC to help address any major concerns that might arise during the term. The Chair serves as an Ex- Officio member of the Cultural Advisory Board and is also expected to attend the CAB’s regular monthly meetings and assist with PAC reporting to the CAB where necessary. The Chair is expected to help transition the incoming Chair into their new role as best as possible. A member of the PAC is expected to serve as Chair for a minimum of one year, with the potential for re- election for a total of two 1-year terms. PAC members can nominate themselves or other members for the position of Chair. Nominees for Chair should have completed at least one full-year on the Committee. Nominations are made by the April meeting each year and final election votes made at the May meeting each year. Officers and new members are then sent to DCAB for review and approval during the June meeting of each year. This role generally requires an additional 5-8 hours a month commitment beyond regular monthly meetings. Role of the Vice-Chair The Vice-Chair assumes the duties of the Chair in case of the Chair’s absence. It is preferred that the Vice-Chair also serve on the Governance Task Force of the PAC. During meetings when the Chair is present, the Vice-Chair serves as back-up to the Chair in helping to keep the group on schedule according to the agenda and also managing the time allotted for presenters and members to speak. The Vice-Chair should also assist the Chair in ensuring that discussion remains relevant to the topic, that all members are encouraged to participate, and that meetings are conducted according to the values and procedures agreed upon by the PAC. The Vice-Chair also serves as Guest Liaison during regular meetings to ensure guests of public meetings get the Guest Info Sheet and that they are thanked for their attendance. The Vice-Chair and Chair work collaboratively with City staff to address matters that need to be reviewed between regular meetings. A member of the PAC is expected to serve as Vice-Chair for one year. It is possible that the Vice-Chair can be nominated to the role of Chair when the position is vacant. PAC members can nominate themselves or other members for the position of Vice-Chair. Members who have been through at least six months to one full-year on the Committee are preferred as nominees for Vice-Chair. Nominations are made by the April meeting each year and final election votes made at the May meeting each year. Officers and new members are then sent to CAB for review and approval during the June meeting of each year. This role generally requires an additional 3-5 hours a month commitment beyond regular monthly meetings.
