Election of a committee co-chair to serve a two-year term

Per the SSCO bylaws, anyone who lives, works, is a member of a community organization, or owns property or a business in the neighborhood is eligible to be a candidate and to vote.

Candidates may submit their names for nomination in advance (contact Dave at 874-2840 or dave_ssco@yahoo.com) or may nominate themselves at the meeting.

The Safety committee co-chairs are responsible for:

• Attending and running the monthly committee meeting, which usually occurs on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6 p.m.
• Representing the committee at safety-related events or meetings.
• Setting direction and providing leadership for the committee, including deciding what to include on the meeting agendas.
• Sometimes making policy recommendations on complicated or controversial issues and working on special projects; this can involve additional meetings outside the monthly committee meeting.

After the election, the committee will recommend a representative to report on its behalf to the SSCO Board of Directors, which meets on the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m.
