The Davidson County Board of Commissioners appointed Karen Watford as chair and Cherry Yates as vice chair during its meeting.
Miss Harris opened the floor for nominations for chair. An unidentified speaker on the dais nominated Watford “my colleague and and friend Karen Watford, to serve as chair.” A motion and second followed and the body approved the appointment by voice vote; colleagues offered congratulations to the new chair.
The board then opened nominations for vice chair. After discussion and a nomination from the floor, the board moved to appoint Commissioner Cherry Yates as vice chair. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; Yates accepted the position and thanked colleagues.
Both leadership selections came at the start of the meeting before routine business. Commissioners also adopted the meeting agenda and proceeded to scheduled items, including approval of annual bonds and a long employee recognition segment.
The board did not record roll-call tallies in the transcript excerpt; votes were recorded by voice with ayes noted.
