The Morrison County Board of Commissioners elected Commissioner Mike Lemire as board chair and Commissioner Greg Blaine as vice chair for 2025 in unanimous votes at the board’s organizational meeting.

The annual organizational vote matters because the chair and vice chair preside over board meetings and represent the board for official duties during the year. The board followed a three-call nomination process before moving to a unanimous ballot.

Commissioner Mitch Winter nominated Mike Lemire for chair. Commissioner Casper moved to appoint Lemire; Commissioner Winter seconded. The board voted aloud, and the chair’s election carried with no recorded opposition. For vice chair, Commissioner Casper nominated Greg Blaine; Commissioner Casper moved the motion and Commissioner Moran seconded. The vice chair motion likewise passed unanimously.

No additional debate or conditions were recorded during the nominations or votes. The board proceeded to other business after the elections.
