Nomination of Scott Todd for Commission of Public Works fails; meeting returns to open session and adjourns
Summary
During a short session to return to open meeting and fill a vacancy, Speaker 2 nominated Scott Todd for the Commission of Public Works. The nomination failed after a voice vote; the meeting then moved to adjournment.
The Commission of Public Works returned from executive session and opened the floor for nominations to fill a vacancy. Speaker 2 nominated Scott Todd, saying, "I'd like to nominate Scott Todd." Speaker 1 announced the motion and called for a second; a second was recorded.
The commission opened the floor for discussion but none was offered. Speaker 2 noted, "We have a motion and a second on the floor," and called for a vote. Speaker 1 responded "Aye," while other participants voiced opposition. The chair declared, "Motion fails." The transcript includes the utterance "3 2" immediately after that declaration; the record does not make clear which side corresponds to those numbers.
Immediately after the failed nomination, Speaker 2 moved to adjourn. The motion received a second and the meeting was adjourned.
The meeting record also notes that "No votes were taken in executive session per state law." The transcript does not identify individual commissioners by name, aside from the nominee Scott Todd, nor does it provide a detailed roll-call vote tied to named members.
