Commission reorganization stalled; temporary-chair nomination used to proceed
Summary
Nominations for board chair resulted in split paper-ballot votes and a request to table due to an absent commissioner. County Attorney Shannon Resnick advised a temporary chair could be chosen for the meeting; Commissioner Hanley ultimately agreed to serve as temporary chair.
The board began its annual reorganization under M.G.L. Chapter 34, Section 4, but nominations produced split paper-ballot results and an initial request from Commissioner Gregory M. Hanley to table the item because Commissioner Sandra M. Wright was absent. According to the minutes, "Attorney Resnick advised a temporary chair could be voted on for this meeting."
After brief discussion and the paper-ballot results, Commissioner Hanley declined the initial nomination but later agreed to act as temporary chair for the Jan. 27 session so the meeting could proceed. The reorganization issue will return when the full board can participate.
