Summary
Commissioners debated waiving the bylaws limit on two consecutive chair terms; the motion to waive failed and the commission subsequently nominated and elected new officers, with the next meeting set for Dec. 4, 2025.
The True Commission considered a motion to waive a two‑term limit for the chair position and, after discussion, the motion failed. Commissioners then proceeded with nominations and elected new officers.
A motion was made and seconded to waive the bylaw limiting chairs to two consecutive terms. Commissioner (speaker 4) spoke against the waiver, arguing that term limits are a long‑established tradition and should be respected. After discussion the chair announced "I see 3 3 yeses. That does not pass." The transcript does not record a full roll‑call tally for that motion.
Following the failed waiver, the commission moved to nominations. Raymond Day was nominated for chair. The commission then nominated and voted for vice chair and secretary; the transcript records voice votes in which nominees were confirmed by voice and no roll‑call tallies are provided in the record.
Commissioners used the session to propose governance changes including a potential committee structure (revenue and spending committees), and discussed holding an extended December meeting to focus on commission governance. The commission set its next regular meeting for Dec. 4, 2025, and adjourned by voice vote.
