Jeanette Morrison nominated for president pro tem as board opens new two-year term
Summary
Jeanette Morrison was nominated for president pro tem of the Board of Alders and received floor endorsements from multiple members; nominations were closed and Morrison thanked colleagues, though the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
Jeanette Morrison was nominated to serve as president pro tem of the Board of Alders for a two-year term during the Jan. 5 meeting. A member nominated the Ward 22 Alder and the nomination was seconded; several colleagues offered floor endorsements praising Morrison’s experience and ability to unite members.
Alder supporters said Morrison ‘‘unites people’’ and praised her ‘‘innovation’’ and reliability (support statements recorded in the transcript). Morrison thanked colleagues for their confidence and said she was humbled and looking forward to serving with the board’s new composition.
The clerk closed nominations after discussion. The transcript records multiple expressions of support and the nominee’s remarks but does not include a recorded roll-call vote for the final confirmation in the provided segment; the record shows nominations closed by motion and second.
The board also opened nominations earlier in the meeting for the president of the Board of Alders for a two-year term and conducted initial procedural steps to close nominations and call for votes.
