Summary

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted to elect Vicky as chair and Lee as vice chair for the coming year after nominations and discussion. The vote was conducted by voice and passed; exact tallies were not recorded in the transcript.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board elected Vicky as chair and Lee as vice chair for the coming year after a motion and voice vote during the September meeting.

The vote followed a period of nominations and floor discussion about succession and whether the existing vice chair should move into the chair role. Board members debated procedural options, including allowing an initial motion to die so they could nominate an alternate slate. Ultimately, a motion "that we elect Vicky as chair and Lee as vice chair for next year" was made and seconded and passed by voice vote.

Board members discussed continuity and leadership succession during the debate, with at least one member saying they would prefer to hold the current vice chair in place for another year. After the vote, the newly elected chair was asked to run the remainder of the meeting.

The transcript records a voice vote recorded as "Aye" but does not provide a roll-call tally. The meeting record shows the board followed its standard nomination-and-vote procedure for selecting officers.
