Sioux Falls Planning Commission elects Erin Norman chair and votes in Bridal Malali (transcript variant: Bridal Malawi) as vice chair for 2025
Summary
During the Feb. 5 meeting the Sioux Falls Planning Commission completed its 2025 officer elections, electing Erin Norman as chair and Bridal Malali (name also recorded as Bridal Malawi in the transcript) as vice chair after motions to cease nominations and voice votes.
The Sioux Falls Planning Commission held elections for its 2025 officers during the Feb. 5 meeting, voting to install Erin Norman as chair and to install Bridal Malali (the transcript also records the name as Bridal Malawi) as vice chair.
Nominations opened after staff called Item 6, the election of officers for 2025. Commissioners nominated Bridal Malali for vice chair; another commissioner moved to cease nominations for the vice‑chair position and the commission then voted to elect Bridal Malali (recorded later in the transcript as Bridal Malawi) by voice vote.
For the chair position the transcript records a nomination of Aaron Norman that did not receive a second, followed by a motion to cease nominations for chairman. Subsequently a motion was made and seconded to vote for Erin Norman as chairman and the commission approved that motion by voice vote.
The transcript does not include roll‑call tallies or individual recorded “yes”/“no” votes for the officer elections; votes were taken by voice. After the elections the commission moved on to the next agenda item and later adjourned.
The transcript contains two different renderings of the vice‑chair nominee’s surname ("Malali" and "Malawi"). The article follows the transcript and records both spellings, because the meeting record uses both and no definitive authoritative spelling was provided in the record.
