Advisory board postpones officer elections, approves minutes and sets next meeting for April 1

The Delaware City Sister Cities Advisory Board opened with roll call, confirmed a quorum and approved the minutes from the board’s previous official meeting (the board said the last official meeting was in July). Members moved to excuse two absent members and recorded a roll-call vote to approve the minutes.

During nominations for chairperson and vice chairperson, multiple members asked whether the election needed to happen that night. The current chair indicated a preference to postpone the formal election until the April meeting and stated that, because the chair had been reappointed for 2025, he intended to continue in the chair position for the remainder of the year. The board accepted that plan and did not hold a vote to elect new officers at this session.

Members settled on a tentative next meeting date of April 1 (board members noted a scheduling conflict for the originally proposed April 8 date). The board recorded other routine procedural items, including a motion to adjourn; the meeting concluded with an adjournment at 6:50 p.m.

Roll-call confirmations for the approval of the prior meeting’s summary included named responses from Mr. Alban and Mr. Gruber and a roll-call that included the mayor and the chairman; the transcript records members saying “yes” on roll-call for the approval. The meeting record includes procedural seconds and confirmations but does not record full formal motions with identified movers and seconders for every item in the transcript.
