EAB nominates Alex as chair; public hearing and vote planned in February
Summary
At the January meeting the Energy Advisory Board moved to nominate board member Alex to serve as chair; board members agreed to hold a publicly noticed hearing and vote at the February meeting and, if confirmed, the new chair’s first meeting would be in April after Council’s March appointments.
Members of the Boulder Energy Advisory Board nominated and seconded a board member identified in the transcript as Alex to serve as the board’s next chair during the January meeting. The board agreed to schedule the formal, publicly noticed hearing and vote at its February meeting; staff said the new chair would take the chair role at the first meeting after City Council’s March appointments (the board anticipated an April start).
The nomination followed the board’s usual seniority practice, which generally gives the next eligible member the chair role. Staff noted the board charter requires a public hearing when appointing a new chair; the board agreed to hold that hearing at the February meeting and, if the appointment is confirmed there, to have the chairship become effective beginning with the April meeting so new Council‑appointed members are in place.
No formal roll‑call vote on the chair appointment was recorded at the January meeting; board members moved and seconded the nomination on the record and Alex accepted the nomination but noted a possible scheduling conflict for the February meeting. Staff offered to put the public hearing on the February agenda and clarified that Council will make board member appointments on March 20 and the newly appointed board member is expected to attend the April meeting.
Ending The board set a public hearing and vote on the chair nomination for its February meeting; staff will publish the notice and the board will take the formal vote during that session.
