The Town of Merrillville Plan Commission held officer elections at its Jan. 20 meeting. Commissioners voted to elect the nominated chair (named in the transcript as 'Marjuslak') by roll call, then approved Chris Mellon as secretary and Brian Dearing as vice president. Each office was approved with six votes in favor and one absence (Chandler Felton).
The nominations were made from the floor and confirmed by roll‑call votes. The secretary, Chris Mellon, conducted the roll calls that recorded the affirmative votes. The commission affirmed its slate of officers at the start of the meeting, allowing it to proceed to the regular agenda.
No contested opposition or abstentions were recorded during the officer elections; the commission then moved on to review the meeting agenda.
