The Satellite Beach Youth Council elected Alex LaFortune as its first chair and Charlotte as vice chair during its inaugural meeting on Oct. 28, 2019.
Members discussed qualifications for the chair role before McKenzie Parson moved to nominate Alex LaFortune and another member seconded the motion. Council members voiced assent during a roll call and the presiding official declared the motion passed. The council then opened nominations for vice chair; a motion to nominate Charlotte was seconded and recorded as passed by voice vote. Alex LaFortune then presided as chair for the remainder of the meeting.
The proceedings followed the nomination, second and vote steps outlined in the clerk's orientation earlier in the meeting.
