Pete Bayinski was elected board chair of BTU after a unanimous vote at a regular meeting.

The nomination came when an unnamed board member said, “I move to approve, nominating Pete Bayinski for, board chair.” Board member Jerry Salvato seconded the motion. Mayor presiding over the meeting called for the vote and said, “All in favor of the motion, say aye.” The chair was announced as Pete Bayinski after members responded in the affirmative and no opposing votes were recorded.

The vote followed brief opening remarks about technical difficulties at the start of the meeting. The board then closed its first regular meeting and moved into its second regular meeting, according to comments recorded in the transcript. No further discussion, debate, or roll-call vote totals were provided in the transcript.
