CJCC elects Julia Lions chair; Judge Smith named vice chair
Summary
At its May 13 meeting, the Sawyer County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee elected Julia Lions chair by unanimous vote and named Judge Smith vice chair; the committee then continued business including elections’ procedural formalities.
The Sawyer County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee elected Julia Lions chair and named Judge Smith vice chair during its noon meeting on May 13, 2026. Members held secret-ballot votes after nominations were opened; the chair position was filled by a unanimous vote for Lions, and Judge Smith was unanimously elected vice chair.
The nominations and balloting procedures followed the committee’s bylaws: members were given the opportunity to speak for three minutes after nomination and the secretary counted ballots in the meeting room. Judge Smith then presided over the remainder of the meeting in Lions’ absence.
The vote capped a brief procedural opening that included roll call and confirmation of a quorum. The approvals and elections were conducted before committee business continued with reports and grant discussions. No motions to contest the results were recorded, and the clerk circulated signature forms after the vice-chair vote.
