Tom Douglas elected chair; Kathleen elected vice chair of the borough air commission
Summary
At the May 7 Air Pollution Control Commission meeting commissioners nominated and accepted Tom Douglas as chair and Kathleen as vice chair; nominations required no seconds and no ballots were used.
Fairbanks — The Fairbanks North Star Borough Air Pollution Control Commission elected its chair and vice chair at the May 7 meeting.
Commissioner Kathleen nominated Tom Douglas for chair; Douglas accepted. With no other nominations and no ballot required, the commission confirmed Douglas as chair. Kathleen then nominated herself for vice chair, accepted without opposition, and commissioners congratulated her.
Before nominations the clerk read a reminder of the chair and vice chair duties—including agenda setting, determining quorum, managing debate, and impartial procedural functions—so commissioners were clear on the responsibilities they were selecting officers to perform.
No roll‑call vote or formal tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the transcript shows nominations, acceptance and a consensus acknowledgment of the results. The chair and vice chair will carry out agenda‑setting and meeting procedures at future meetings; the next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 6 with remote participation available.
