Christian Bishop elected moderator at Belgrade special town meeting
Summary
Attendees at Belgrade's special town meeting unanimously selected Christian Bishop as moderator by written ballot. Bishop then ran the rest of the session and reviewed meeting rules and voting procedures.
Christian Bishop was elected moderator at the Belgrade special town meeting after a written ballot produced three yes votes for his nomination.
Christian Bishop, who addressed attendees after the vote, said, "As stated, my name is Christian Bishop. Welcome to the special town meeting." The moderator reviewed shortened rules from the moderator's manual and explained the sequence: presentation of the article, opportunity for questions and comments, and then a vote. A town staff member made the nomination for Bishop and Resident Sheila King seconded it; the transcript records three yes ballots and no further opposition before Bishop took the chair.
