Pine County commissioners elect Josh Moore chair, Roger Nelson vice chair for 2026
Summary
At its Jan. 6 organizational meeting the Pine County Board of Commissioners elected Commissioner Josh Moore as chair and Roger Nelson as vice chair. The board also approved the amended agenda and moved into public forum.
The Pine County Board of Commissioners opened its Jan. 6 organizational meeting by electing a new leadership team for 2026. Commissioner Josh Moore was nominated and elected board chair by roll call (four ayes, one nay); Roger Nelson was subsequently elected vice chair, with the vote recorded as unanimous.
The meeting was called to order at 10 a.m. and included the pledge of allegiance, a roll call of commissioners and a formal vote to adopt an amended agenda. Administrator/staff introduced two agenda additions — a discussion of a two‑month hiring pause (which expired Dec. 31, 2025) and a proposal for board operating guidance — and the board approved the amended agenda by roll call.
"Congratulations, commissioner Moore," the administrator said after the chair vote; Moore replied, "Well, thank you." The meeting then moved into public forum and the regular business items of the organizational meeting.
