CAC elects Adrian chair and names vice chair after roll-call votes
Summary
The Troutdale Citizens Advisory Committee elected Adrian as chair and selected a vice chair during the Aug. 6 meeting after members debated whether to postpone elections until a fuller membership was present; roll-call votes determined the outcomes.
The Troutdale Citizens Advisory Committee elected Adrian as its chair and selected a vice chair during the meeting on Aug. 6 after members first debated whether to postpone elections until absent members could attend.
Why it matters: Leadership positions set committee agendas and are the primary contacts between city staff and the CAC.
Sequence and vote: A motion to postpone the election to the next meeting was moved and seconded but did not carry following roll-call voting. The committee then opened nominations. Adrian was nominated and received a roll-call vote; after votes, staff announced, "At 5 2, Adrian has been elected chair," indicating five votes in favor and two opposed. The committee then opened nominations for vice chair, which proceeded by roll call; the roll call returned affirmative votes for the nomination and the staff announced the vice chair selection. Staff and members recorded yes votes from Committee member Castillo White, Kester, Stevens, Terrell, Staffinson and Knight and vice chair Barney during the roll-call.
What was decided: Adrian will serve as chair and the nominated vice chair will serve in that role until the committee's next election opportunity. Members who were absent did not participate in the vote.
Ending: Members congratulated the newly elected chair and vice chair and proceeded to the rest of the agenda.
