Parks board elects Toby as chair and fills officer posts
Summary
After debate about prior elections, the board elected Toby as chair (voice/roll-call indicated 4–1), Miss Stone as vice chair (4–1), Brianna Wesley as secretary, and Mr. Ali as parliamentarian. The board also agreed to add the parliamentarian to the slate of officers elected today.
Nominations opened for chair, vice chair and secretary after the board adopted amended bylaws. Multiple members debated whether recent elections had been properly noticed; one member described an earlier election as "illegal" because it was not on a meeting agenda. The board proceeded to hold nominations and votes. The chair vote concluded with Toby elected as chair; the transcript indicates a final tally of four votes in favor and one opposed for that chair vote.
After Toby assumed the chair, the board added the parliamentarian to the officers being elected. The board then voted to elect Miss Stone as vice chair (announced as a 4–1 vote), Brianna Wesley as secretary and Mr. Ali as parliamentarian. Toby, newly installed as chair, thanked members and emphasized moving work forward. "I appreciate the opportunity and the vote of confidence from from the board," he said after being seated.
