Commission delays formal chair appointment until vacancies are filled
Summary
Commissioners discussed appointing a chair and co-chair after the former chair resigned but agreed to keep the interim chair in place and wait for additional commissioners to be seated; no appointment vote was taken.
The commission took up a proposal to appoint a permanent chair and possible co-chair after the previous chair's resignation.
Staff explained that the previous chair had resigned and that until a vote is held the interim leader (Chair Florina Sabella) would continue. Commissioners expressed a preference to wait until the commission is closer to full strength (three vacancies remain) so new members can participate in the leadership decision. One commissioner said they would likely nominate or accept nomination for chair once the commission is fuller; others commended Sabella's leadership and supported deferring a permanent appointment.
No vote was held and the commission recorded "no action taken" on appointing a chair or co-chair; the item will return when more commissioners are appointed.
