BIC suspends rule, reelects Mel Murphy as president and keeps Hetchanova as vice president
Summary
The commission suspended Rule 2.03 to permit officer elections at the special meeting, then unanimously reelected Mel Murphy as president and Vice President Hetchanova as vice president.
The Building Inspection Commission voted to suspend Rule 2, Section 2.03 so it could elect officers at a special meeting on Feb. 2, 2010, then unanimously elected Mel Murphy as president and Vice President Hetchanova as vice president.
Commissioner Levitt moved to suspend the rule; John Maleman from the city attorney dvised that suspending the rule for this meeting was permissible and that rule language could be revised in a future package. Commissioners discussed that the suspension was sought because there would be no regular February meeting.
Following the suspension, Commissioner Walker nominated Mel Murphy for a second term; the nomination was seconded and commissioners spoke in support of Murphy nd his leadership during staffing reductions and ongoing seismic and tenant-safety projects. A roll-call vote confirmed Murphy unanimously. Commissioners then nominated and voted unanimously to reelect Vice President Hetchanova.
The votes were taken by roll call and both elections were unanimous.
