John Carr elected commission chair; vice chair nomination approved

John Carr was nominated and approved as chair of the Elko County Board of Commissioners for 2025 during the commission’s Jan. 8 meeting. Commissioners also moved to name Delmo Andreozzi as vice chair for the year.

The nomination came during the organization portion of the agenda and was seconded; a voice vote carried the motion. Chair Carr, who chaired the meeting as acting chair, acknowledged conversations with Andreozzi and said Andreozzi did not need to be chair again but would serve as vice chair. The board opened the nomination to public discussion and, seeing none, proceeded to vote.

The action was procedural and focused on internal leadership and assignments for committee representation. Commissioners said they would continue to coordinate assignments — including liquor board and other statutory roles — to ensure continuity across the county’s boards and authorities. The voice vote recorded approval but individual roll-call tallies were not specified in the meeting record.
