Sherwood City Board of Adjustment elects Blake Martin chair, approves minutes and adjourns

The Sherwood City Board of Adjustment approved minutes from its January 2024 meeting, elected Blake Martin as chair for the coming year, nominated Gary for vice chair and then adjourned during a brief organizational meeting.

The board approved the minutes from its January 2024 meeting without change. An unidentified board member made the motion to approve the minutes; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote in which all members present voted aye.

The board then proceeded to elect officers under the group’s bylaws, which require an annual organizational meeting. An unidentified board member moved that Blake Martin serve as chair for the coming year; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call vote. Members next nominated Gary for vice chair; that nomination was seconded and approved by roll call.

With officers in place, a motion to adjourn was offered, seconded and approved by roll call.

The meeting record shows members present and voting during roll calls as Williams, Jones, Hoskin, Patel, Clough and Evan Delray; all were recorded voting "aye" on the motions reported in the minutes. Specific movers and seconders for the officer nominations and adjournment were not identified in the transcript except as a motion and a second.

The meeting included brief discussion noting that the board is required by its bylaws to hold an organizational meeting at least once a year; the minutes record that the board’s only meeting in 2024 was in January and that COVID affected scheduling. No substantive land-use matters or appeals were discussed at this session.
