Summary

Commissioners nominated and unanimously voted to make Vice Chair Kostecki the commission chair; the body agreed to place a vice-chair appointment on the next meeting agenda.

During agenda item F1, a commissioner nominated Vice Chair Kostecki to serve as chair of the Merced City Commission. Commissioners discussed procedural points about whether the vice-chair appointment would need to be separately agendized and confirmed that selection of a vice chair will be added to the next meeting's agenda.

A motion by Commissioner Murphy to appoint Kostecki as chair, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, was put to a vote and passed unanimously. The commission clerk will place the vice-chair selection on the next agenda so that commissioners can formally appoint a vice chair at that time.

There were no objections recorded on the floor and the appointment will take effect immediately as the commission begins operating under the newly elected chair.
