Summary

By voice vote the board disbanded or suspended multiple committees at individuals’ requests; motions carried for each committee listed on the agenda.

The St. Joseph County Election Board approved motions to disband several candidate-related committees and to suspend others, all by voice vote.

The board processed a list of committee disbanding requests submitted for multiple individuals and moved through each on the agenda. The meeting record shows motions and seconding for each committee and the board recorded unanimous voice votes of “Aye” with each motion carrying. Names referenced for committee disbanding requests included Bobby Kaye (surveyor), Doug Chaffee, Jason Pontuk (transcript spelled variably), Ed Fisher, Kent Heizer and William Snedeky; meeting discussion noted that an elected candidate can reinitiate a committee at a later date if desired.

Board members confirmed these were requests by the committee chairs or candidates and that disbanding would not prevent reinitiation of committees in the future. The board recorded each motion as carried by voice vote.
