John West elected chair of the Bakersfield select board
Summary
The Bakersfield Select Board elected John West as chair during its March 9 meeting; the motion passed with one abstention and leadership duties were passed immediately to West.
John West was elected chair of the Bakersfield Select Board during the March 9 meeting after a nomination and a second. The board recorded a roll‑call-style voice vote with one member abstaining; the outgoing presiding member then passed the meeting to West.
The new chair took up routine business, including calling for approval of minutes and moving through the agenda. "With that, I pass the meeting off to you, sir," the prior presiding member said as the board transferred control to West, after which members continued business under his direction. The board then proceeded to elect a vice chair and handle regular administrative items.
