Satellite Beach Youth Council elects Alex LaFortune as chair, Charlotte Barnes as vice chair
Summary
At its first official meeting on Oct. 28, 2019, the Satellite Beach Youth Council elected Alex LaFortune chair and Charlotte Barnes vice chair after nominations and voice/roll-call votes; members were sworn in and the council moved on to set meeting norms and project ideas.
Alex LaFortune was elected chair of the Satellite Beach Youth Council at the body’s first official meeting on Oct. 28, 2019, after a nomination and second by fellow council members.
McKenzie Parson, a youth council member, moved “I make a motion to nominate Alex LaFortune for chair.” A committee member seconded the motion. After a short period for discussion, the council voted by roll call/voice and LaFortune announced, “Motion passes.”
The vote followed the swearing‑in of members earlier in the evening. The council then conducted a separate nomination and vote for vice chair: Sarah Zicki moved to nominate Charlotte Barnes, a youth council member, and a committee member seconded; the council approved Barnes as vice chair.
The leadership votes were procedural steps in launching the council’s work. With LaFortune presiding, members moved on to citizen comment, scheduled presentations from city staff, and a brainstorming session about likely council priorities for the coming year.
The record does not provide an exact roll‑call tally; members voted by individual voice/roll call and the chair announced the motions passed. A committee member who seconded the nominations is recorded in the transcript as Speaker 9; the transcript does not supply that person’s full name at the moment of the second.
