Cerritos Fine Arts and Historical Commission elects Kelly Caldwell chair, Michelle Guerrero vice chair; approves minutes

At its meeting, the Cerritos Fine Arts and Historical Commission completed its annual reorganization, electing Kelly Caldwell as chair and Michelle Guerrero as vice chair and approving the consent-calendar minutes for March 20, 2025, by unanimous votes.

The reorganization began with staff introducing two newly appointed commissioners, Rosa Peters (appointed by Councilwoman Jennifer Hong) and Matthew Scammelhorn (appointed by Councilman Mark Pulido). The commission then opened nominations for chair and vice chair. A commissioner nominated Kelly Caldwell for chair; another commissioner seconded the nomination. Members voted in favor by voice vote and the motion passed unanimously. A subsequent nomination for Michelle Guerrero to serve as vice chair was likewise seconded and approved unanimously.

Commissioners also moved to approve the consent calendar, including the March 20, 2025 minutes; that motion carried 5-0. The commission did not take other formal actions during the reorganization segment.

The commission convened the reorganization as part of its regular agenda; commissioners and staff confirmed membership and leadership roles before proceeding to project updates later in the meeting.
