Summary

At the Town of Johnson select board organizational meeting, members were sworn in, Paul Orden was nominated and elected chair, and Adrian Parker was chosen as vice chair after competing nominations and discussion about willingness to serve.

The select board opened by administering the oath of office to newly seated members; when asked to affirm the oath Kelsey Perfry answered, "I do," as the board exchanged brief congratulations.

The board moved quickly to organize its leadership. A nomination from a board member put Paul Orden forward for chair; after a second the chair called for a vote and declared, "Ayes have it." The vice chair slot drew competing nominations for Evan Patch and Adrian Parker before Adrian was recorded as chosen after discussion and an informal process to resolve support. The board then continued to appointments and the evening agenda.
