INCO neighborhood council elects new executive board; council approves multiple past meeting minutes
Summary
Members elected Diana Veil as chair and filled four vice-chair seats in open ballots; the general membership approved minutes from four prior meetings (Aug. 7, Sept. 30, Oct. 2 and Oct. 9, 2024) by voice or unanimous consent.
The INCO (Neighborhood Council) general membership elected a new executive board and approved several sets of past minutes during the meeting.
Diana Veil was elected chair by open ballot, and the council filled vice-chair positions: Lisa Hewitt as first vice chair, Alfonso Aurelio as second vice chair, Christopher Bissonnette as third vice chair, and Doug Topper as fourth vice chair. Meeting staff instructed attendees to write their names on ballots (the council noted ballots were not secret and are subject to public disclosure under the Brown Act) and tallied votes before announcing winners.
The council approved minutes for its regular meetings dated August 7, 2024; September 30, 2024; October 2, 2024; and October 9, 2024. Those approvals were moved and seconded at the meeting and were adopted by voice vote with no recorded objections.
The chair (role recorded as the meeting chair) and staff confirmed procedural details for the incoming executive board, which will be sworn in at the January general membership meeting. The executive board will meet before the January 8 general membership meeting; the new executive board will be sworn in at that meeting.
The meeting organizers reiterated that ballots used for the executive board election required voters to write their names and that the tallying was done in public; detailed vote counts were not specified in the meeting record.
