Hollywood Park EDC swears in members, elects officers and names committee members

The Hollywood Park Economic Development Corporation swore in newly appointed and reappointed members and conducted its annual officer elections.

Janette administered oaths of office for the appointees before the board began elections. For the officer slate, the board nominated and elected Martha Newton as secretary, Brian (last name not provided in the packet) as vice president and Alan Sale as EDC president; each nomination received a second and passed by voice vote.

The board also appointed Colleen Salazar to the Strategy and Operations Committee and Kenneth Sumners to the Business & External Outreach Committee after motions and voice votes.

Board members noted the committees are limited by practice to two members to avoid creating a quorum outside public meetings; members discussed committee rosters and asked staff to update committee assignments and notify members. No contested roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; the meeting reflects unanimous voice votes for the appointments and elections reported.

These administrative items were handled near the beginning and in the mid-meeting business and no legal or fiscal actions were made as part of the officer elections themselves.
