3.2   Technical Advisory Committee

A Technical Advisory Committee shall report to the Administrative Policy Board through the Director, and shall be composed of the following members:

1. Clinton County Central Dispatch Director
2. A representative appointed by the Clinton County Sheriff
3. A representative appointed by the Michigan State Police
4. A member appointed by the Administrative Policy Board to represent the fire departments within the County
5. A member appointed by the Administrative Policy Board to represent the police departments of the cities, villages and townships within the County
6. A member appointed by the Administrative Policy Board to represent the emergency medical service providers within the County
7. A member, appointed by the Administrative Policy Board, who is a supervisor of dispatchers at the Clinton County Central Dispatch Authority
8. The Clinton County Emergency Management Director

The Technical Advisory Committee will recommend policy and operating procedures to the Administrative Policy Board, with a particular concentration on technical operating procedures to be used by the dispatchers and the dispatched public and private emergency service providers and agencies. The Technical Advisory Committee will not, however, set policy for the Clinton County Central Dispatch Authority, or any of the public or private service providers.

Members of the Technical Advisory Committee shall serve for terms established by the Administrative Policy Board, although their appointing body or official may remove them at any time.

No single public agency or public safety agency shall have more than one voting member on the Technical Advisory Committee. Therefore, the Director shall not vote on matters brought before the Committee.

All members shall serve without recompense and shall be allowed to designate, in a signed writing, an alternate to sit and vote in his or her place in the event the member is unable to attend the meeting. A quorum shall constitute four members or alternates, and all matters decided upon by the Committee are deemed approved upon a majority vote of the members or alternates attending a meeting at which a quorum is established and maintained.

3.3  Election of Chairperson

The Technical Advisory Committee shall elect a Chairperson at its first meeting of the calendar year, which shall be its organizational meeting. Thereafter, the Chairperson shall preside over the Committee meetings and cause minutes of such meetings to be prepared and distributed to each member. The Board Chairperson shall exercise all powers and duties specified in these Bylaws or in Roberts Rules of Order, which shall govern Committee meeting procedures to the extent such Rules are not in conflict with Michigan law or these Bylaws.
