Board appoints Rod Boettcher to Budget Committee after three rounds of voting
Summary
Following candidate interviews and multiple ballot rounds, the Board unanimously selected Rod Boettcher to fill the Budget Committee vacancy; Chair Pam Shields abstained and had earlier confirmed four affirmative votes were required for appointment.
Chair Pam Shields outlined the process for interviewing and appointing three new Budget Committee members and confirmed that "four affirmative votes were needed for each appointment and that she will be abstaining from voting." Candidates Rudy Watzig, SaQuoija Allen and Rod Boettcher were interviewed (Myrna Jensen applied but was not present).
Ballot voting produced varied results across multiple rounds: an initial round produced four affirmative votes for SaQuoija Allen and Rudy Watzig while other candidates received fewer votes; a second round shifted support and a final round resulted in Rod Boettcher receiving unanimous support and being appointed to the Budget Committee. The transcript records the sequential ballots and the final unanimous outcome but does not list individual board member ballot markings for every round beyond the summary of tallies.
The appointment fills a Budget Committee seat; the Board used secret ballot rounds to arrive at a unanimous final choice after deliberation. Chair Shields' abstention and the multi-round ballot process were noted as procedural steps required under the Board's appointment rules.
