Summary
The board elected John Perez as chair for 2026 after nominations and a roll-call-style vote and approved minutes from Aug. 21, 2025. A vice-chair nomination was also handled; formal vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Tooele County Economic Opportunity Board elected John Perez as its chair for 2026 during a July meeting in the council chambers. Members opened nominations; John Perez was nominated and a competing nomination was made for Tyson Hamilton before the board closed nominations and proceeded to a roll-call-style vote. The board announced the motion passed and invited the newly elected chair to conduct the remainder of the meeting.
The board also moved to approve meeting minutes from Aug. 21, 2025. The motion carried by voice vote; the transcript records the chair calling for the vote and members responding “Aye,” but it does not provide a detailed roll-call tally. The transcript shows nominations for vice chair were opened and closed and that the board conducted an anonymous vote and recorded approval, but the transcript does not record the final count or identify the successful nominee by full name.
The actions taken were procedural: setting leadership for the coming term and approving prior minutes. The board will appear to follow up with administrative details (such as distributing login access for a workforce data tool) in a future agenda.
