Board member to join New Smyrna Beach; board elects Yates as chair
Summary
An outgoing board member announced acceptance of a grants manager job with New Smyrna Beach and the planning board voted to elevate Mr. Yates to chair at the same meeting. The board postponed selecting a vice chair until a future meeting.
A board member announced at the meeting that tonight would be their last, saying, "So tonight is actually my last meeting... I accepted an offer with New Smyrna Beach," and that they will begin work there the following day.
Members discussed whether to fill officer vacancies immediately. Speaker 4 recommended filling the chair position that night and moved to do so; another member seconded the motion. At Speaker 2's request, Speaker 3 called a roll vote to elect Mr. Yates as the new chair. The roll call returned affirmative votes from Deb Dennys, Causey, Hall, Bean, Yates and Wheatcraft; the motion carried.
The board also discussed whether to promote the vice chair automatically or wait to fill that vacancy. Members agreed to delay a vice‑chair appointment until a future meeting when the board may be closer to full membership. The board adjourned after confirming a quorum and concluding business.
