Coordinating committee elects new chair, vice chair by voice vote
Summary
The Washington County Coordinating Committee opened nominations and elected a new chair and vice chair in a voice vote. Committee procedures require elected officials as primary members; staff will update rosters for alternates.
The Washington County Coordinating Committee held nominations and elected a new chair and vice chair during its meeting.
Nominations opened for the two officer positions at the start of the action item. Committee members nominated candidates and the committee conducted voice votes. The presiding official announced the selection of Mayor Rosenberg as committee chair by voice vote. A vice chair was also nominated and the committee approved that nomination by voice vote; the vice-chair name was announced in the meeting record but the transcript did not record a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: the committee’s bylaws require that primary and alternate members be elected officials and set two-year officer terms with the vice chair typically rotating into the chair role. Staff said they will update the committee roster and requested that jurisdictions provide appointment paperwork for recently selected representatives and alternates.
