Board adopts two-choice ranking after planned scoring method fails
Summary
Board members debated how to score candidates and rejected the initially proposed weighted top-four system, then voted 6-0 to instead have each member identify a top two after interviews; the change followed a 3-3 tie on the earlier motion.
Board President Carrie Germain explained a proposed weighted scoring process that would have asked members to rank a top four, with first choice worth two points and second worth one. After discussion, a motion to adopt that planned process failed on a 3-3 roll call.
The board then approved an alternate approach. Kim Winter moved, and Andrea Fick supported, a motion to have each member identify their top two candidates after interviews; that motion passed on a 6-0 roll call, establishing the method the board used to tally and select the appointee.
