Alex LaFortune elected chair of Satellite Beach Youth Council; Charlotte Barnes named vice chair
Summary
At its first official meeting Oct. 28, 2019, the Satellite Beach Youth Council elected Alex LaFortune as chair and Charlotte Barnes as vice chair after brief nominations and oral votes. The new leaders will guide future agendas and represent the council at meetings.
Alex LaFortune, a member of the Satellite Beach Youth Council, was elected chair at the council's first official meeting on Oct. 28, 2019.
McKenzie Parson nominated LaFortune for chair and a council member seconded the motion; the chair declared the motion passed after members indicated assent. Later in the meeting members nominated Charlotte Barnes for vice chair; that nomination was seconded and approved by an oral roll-call-style vote.
The council followed the process outlined by the city clerk earlier in the meeting: nominees were discussed briefly before members called for a motion, a second and a vote. The chair presides over meetings and the vice chair performs the chair's duties when the chair is absent, both duties the council discussed in orientation materials provided to members.
The election concluded without recorded dissent in the transcript. Council members agreed the body will handle officer nominations and votes in future meetings using the same motion/second/vote steps.
The council moved on to orientation and agenda items after confirming the new leadership; the chair (LaFortune) then led the remainder of the meeting with staff available to assist as needed.
