Referral History and Update:
On August 28, 2017, the Sustainability Commission adopted Bylaws. These Bylaws were approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 26, 2017. Section IV.A of the Bylaws regarding Organization states: “The Commission shall annually at its first meeting in the calendar year elect its Chair and Vice-Chair.” The duties of the Chair are defined in the Bylaws as conducting meetings, developing agenda, and serving as the official spokesperson for the Commission. The duties of the Vice-Chair are defined as acting for the Chair in the Chair’s absence.
At the first Sustainability Commission meeting in 2026 (February 2026), the Commission voted to retain the current Vice-Chair, Commissioner Matson, until the next Commission meeting in April to consider a new Vice-Chair for the remainder of 2026.
