Marion County Commission elevates Kent Becker to chair, names Clark Dirks vice chair
Summary
The Marion County Commission reorganized leadership on Aug. 10, moving Kent Becker from vice chair to chair and naming Clark Dirks as vice chair in voice votes after nominations and seconds during the meeting's opening reorganization.
The Marion County Commission voted Monday to reorganize its leadership, approving Kent Becker as chair and Clark Dirks as vice chair.
The reorganization took place at the start of the Aug. 10 meeting as the board moved to confirm leadership roles before public comment. Commissioner (speaker 6) nominated Becker to become chair and another member seconded the nomination; the board approved the nominations by voice vote.
The move follows the commission—ustom of confirming leadership positions at the start of the board year. No alternate vice chair was appointed at this meeting, and commissioners said they would revisit additional officer assignments in January if needed.
"Nominate Kent Becker's. They remain as, move from vice chair to chairman," said the commissioner who made the motion (speaker 6).
The commission then confirmed Clark Dirks to the vice chair role by a separate nomination and voice vote. Commissioners did not schedule further officer changes at this meeting.
The reorganization required only a voice vote and passed without recorded dissent. The board proceeded to the regular agenda after the confirmations.
