Beaumont economic development committee re-elects Betty Rader as chair; approves minutes with one abstention
Summary
The Beaumont Economic Development Committee voted to retain Betty Rader as chair and elected Richard Benicki as vice chair. The body also approved its October minutes with one abstention and set follow-ups for upcoming meetings.
The Beaumont Economic Development Committee elected Betty Rader to continue as chair and Richard Benicki as vice chair and approved the October meeting minutes, with one member abstaining, at its recent meeting.
The committee's reorganization occurred early in the agenda after roll call. Member nominations were offered, seconded and approved by voice vote. “You know, Lloyd White told me that since I wasn't here in October that I got elected forever as the chair,” Rader said during the discussion before the voice vote.
Committee members also moved to approve the minutes from October. The motion passed after members indicated “aye”; one committee member, identified in the record as Joonas, registered an abstention. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes beyond that abstention.
The reorganization sets the committee's leadership for the year and clarifies who will shepherd upcoming policy discussions and agenda items, committee members said during the meeting. Members discussed that the vice chair might need to preside at a future meeting in the chair's absence.
The committee ended the business by confirming that its next regular meeting will be held on March 12 at 4 p.m., and asked staff to provide briefing material for new members ahead of substantive agenda items.
Actions taken at the meeting: minutes approval (motion passed, one abstention); chair election (Rader, elected by voice vote); vice-chair election (Benicki, elected by voice vote).
