Summary
At its recent meeting the Erie Zoning Hearing Board elected Laura Gunin chair and selected 'Selena' as vice chair for 2026; speakers noted this is the first time the board will be led by two women.
The Erie Zoning Hearing Board elected Laura Gunin as chair and selected Selena as vice chair for 2026 during opening procedures. Nominations were made from the floor, seconded, and decided by roll-call votes recorded at the start of the meeting.
A member nominated Laura Gunin for chair; the nomination was seconded and, by recorded voice/roll call, Mr. Seabald, Miss King, Miss Gunin (who asked to vote for herself) and Mr. Johnson voted yes. The board then proceeded to the vice-chair nomination; a member nominated Selena and the nomination was seconded and approved by the members present.
Members commented that, for the first time in the zoning board’s history, two women will serve as the board’s chair and vice chair. The newly elected chair, Laura Gunin, received congratulations from board members and observers.
Records show members present included Mr. Seabald, Miss King, Miss Gunin (Laura Gunin), Mr. Dawson and Mr. Johnson. The transcript identifies Selena by first name only; it does not provide a last name or additional identifying details for the vice chair in the hearing record.
The board did not take any other leadership actions at the meeting beyond those nominations and votes. The officers will preside over subsequent agenda items and the next monthly meeting.
