I strongly agree with this. I think it also cannot be emphasized enough that the |
36 |
secretary simply cannot chair the meetings(unless the secretary is a council |
37 |
member). This is because the secretary is not elected and, from my experience |
38 |
chairing meetings anyway, would inneffectually keep the council on-topic and |
39 |
moving through the agenda. |

41 |
Pretty much anything else can be assigned to the secretary however. |
