At its Dec. 17 meeting the San Rafael Police Advisory Committee elected its leadership for 2026. After staff noted the Boards and Commissions rule that the vice chair "shall" become chair the following year, a motion passed to appoint Vice Chair Daniel Davidi (also recorded in minutes as Davitti/Davide in places) as chair for 2026; the roll-call vote recorded six 'aye' votes when called.
The committee then considered the vice-chair vacancy. After nominations and discussion — including comments acknowledging language or experience barriers for some newer members — the committee moved and seconded a motion to appoint Member Ruiz as vice chair. The roll call for that motion recorded unanimous 'aye' on the motion.
During the conversation members expressed a range of views: some urged that the vice chair not automatically become chair and recommended selecting leaders based on contribution; others supported following the boards-and-commissions rule to provide orderly succession. The City Attorney and staff advised procedural options and clarified that a motion and recorded vote were required.
What happens next: The new chair and vice chair will assume leadership roles for PAC meetings in 2026. Committee members also agreed to defer the calendar-setting conversation to the special January 10 session and to return to planning work at that meeting.
