The commission nominated and appointed Commissioner Eric Guerra as the 2026 vice chair during the Dec. 1 meeting.

Commissioner Hassett made the nomination, which was seconded and discussed briefly; multiple commissioners offered remarks thanking outgoing or continuing vice-chair leadership (Beth was acknowledged for long service to the commission). A roll-call vote recorded unanimous support and the motion passed.

The nomination process was described as a routine annual appointment to fill the vice-chair vacancy for the coming calendar year.
