During new business the commission opened nominations for chair and vice chair. Speaker 4 nominated “outgoing chair Chatters” for a second term; Speaker 3 seconded the nomination. Commissioners then conducted a roll call vote with affirmative responses recorded from multiple commissioners and the chair nomination approved.

On the vice chair nomination Speaker 4 nominated the presiding commissioner (addressed in the record as “you”) for a second term; that nominee accepted and Speaker 8 seconded the nomination. The commission conducted a roll call vote and the nomination was approved on the record. The transcript records the roll-call “yes” responses but does not include the vice chair’s full name in the spoken record.

The commission then proceeded to the evening’s transportation-element briefing.
