Summary
Board members elected Hugh McFarlane as chairman in a unanimous vote after motions and nominations at the meeting; minutes for the May 15 meeting were also approved.
The Cleveland Airport Board voted unanimously to appoint Hugh McFarlane as chairman during the meeting.
Board member Julius Buckley moved to approve the minutes from the May 15 meeting and then nominated Hugh McFarlane for chairman. "Motion by Julius Buckley. Second by Dickey," the clerk recorded for the minutes-approval motion. After nominations and a vote, members raised hands in favor and the clerk confirmed the motion passed.
On the chairmanship vote, multiple members nominated candidates, and McFarlane accepted the nomination. After the board voted, a member said, "That was unanimous. Yes. Yeah. He's the chairman." McFarlane then said, "I'll vote for myself," and the board acknowledged that the chairman's vote is allowed on this board.
No contested election resulted; the board did not record a roll-call name-by-name vote in the transcript, but members indicated unanimity and the clerk confirmed McFarlane as chairman.
