              Chair and a new election shall be held for Vice-Chair.  A mid-term Vice-Chair vacancy will be filled within sixty (60)
              days with the vacancy to be agendized until the position is filled.  In the event of the resignation or removal of any
              other officer, a new election shall be held to fill the vacant office.

         Fact Sheet.

14.  Modify Meeting Times

      A)   Discussion and action, if any, on whether to modify the start time of Commission meeting to 3:30 PM, instead of the current
               start time of 4:00 PM, and to begin the public meeting at 5:00 PM, instead of the current start time of 5:30 PM; and

      B)   Discussion and action, if any, on adopting a set time to end meetings.  As the Agenda increases in complexity and length,
              and in recognition of recent Commission discussions expressing concern over time spent in completing business, the
              purpose of this item is to set a fixed meeting end time in order to encourage focus and efficiency in Commission discussions
              and deliberations.

       Discussion and action, if any, on:

       A)   Whether to adopt more formality and structure in Commission meetings, possibly employing Roberts Rules, and,

             Adoption of such rules would require an amendment of the By-Laws Article VII, Section 9, which presently directs that
               “meetings shall be conducted informally.”

16.  Staff Report

       A)   Work has begun on the 2009 Annual Report.  Staff expects to have draft reports sent out to Members during February, and
