Schuler elected chair; Chief Hanks, Bonnie chosen for vice chair and secretary
Summary
At its January meeting the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Commission elected Steve Schuler as chair, approved Chief Hanks as vice chair and reappointed Bonnie as secretary; each position was approved by voice vote following nominations.
The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Commission held elections for its leadership during the opening portion of the meeting. Following nominations, members approved Steve Schuler as commission chair, Chief Hanks as vice chair and Bonnie as secretary by voice vote.
Nominations were opened for each office. A motion to nominate Steve Schuler for chair was followed by a voice vote: "All in favor of Steve Schuler for Fire and Rescue Commission chair, say aye," said Speaker 5; no opposition was recorded in the transcript. The commission then opened nominations for vice chair and secretary; Chief Hanks was approved as vice chair and Bonnie was approved as secretary after nominations and a second.
The actions were handled as standard procedural business with voice votes and no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript. The newly elected officers will preside over commission business until the next scheduled elections or as provided by the commission's rules.
Procedural notes: the commission moved quickly through nominations and appointments; the transcript does not record individual yes/no votes by member name.
