LiveWell Kingston approves officers slate and adopts December minutes
Summary
The LiveWell Kingston commission voted to approve a slate of officers (chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer) and later approved the December meeting minutes. The meeting also set a continuing practice for minutes and basic recordkeeping.
LiveWell Kingston commissioners approved a slate of officers and adopted the December meeting minutes during a regularly scheduled commission meeting.
The commission accepted a slate of officers proposed during the meeting: Katrina Light as chair, Katrina Williams as vice chair, Kyle Muther as secretary and Sarah Brainard as treasurer. Commissioner Anthony moved to accept the slate; a second was recorded and the chair called for verbal aye votes. The chair reported the motion passed after respondents verbally indicated “aye.”
The group also approved the commission’s December meeting minutes after the minutes were placed on screen for review. A second for the minutes motion was recorded (Katrina White) and the commission approved the minutes by voice vote.
Commission staff clarified the expected level of minutes detail going forward: brief, one-sentence recaps of discussions with explicit notes of decisions and any actions assigned to staff or commissioners. Staff also noted that meeting recordings are kept on YouTube and can be reviewed to fill in details after the meeting.
Members discussed the duties attached to officer roles during the vote. The posted description of the secretary role emphasized a practical recordkeeping workload (basic decisions, votes, and short recaps) and staff said recordings could be leveraged to complete minutes. The treasurer role was described during discussion as carrying no active custodial funds for the commission at present.[1]
