Committee chair resigns; members elect new chair and vice chair by voice vote
Summary
The outgoing chair announced an immediate resignation; members nominated and approved Carl as chair and approved a self-nominated vice chair by voice vote during the meeting.
The committee considered a change in leadership when the long-serving chair announced he would step down effective immediately. “I'd like to resign the chair, and I'd like to do that effective tonight,” the chair said, and asked for nominations.
A member nominated Carl for chair and another member seconded the nomination. The committee indicated assent by voice vote and the chair role was transferred to Carl during the meeting.
Nominations for vice chair followed. A self-nomination was accepted and a second was recorded; the nominee (spoken in the transcript with variants including "Bridal" and "Grama") was approved by voice vote. Committee members described the vice chair duties as running meetings when the chair is not available and taking notes to relieve staff workload.
Members did not record a roll-call vote; both leadership changes were recorded as approved by voice vote during the meeting.
