Summary

After several nominations and rounds of voting, the council elected Tim O'Meara to serve as council president; members debated experience and the nomination process before the final vote.

The council opened nominations for council president at the start of the meeting. Multiple members were nominated, including experienced former council members and newly sworn members who offered themselves. Members discussed whether prior experience on planning and zoning or previous council service should weigh in the vote and emphasized the need for steady leadership for the new council.

Following discussion and successive votes, Tim O'Meara received sufficient support in a subsequent ballot and was elected council president. Council members thanked outgoing President Rob Keiser for his 12 years of service earlier in the meeting and moved on to preside under the newly elected president.
