Williams elected School Board president in 5–2 ballot vote; other officers confirmed
Summary
A ballot for board president produced five votes for Williams and two for DeFord; Williams was elected president. The board then confirmed DeFord as vice president, Hansen as clerk and Simmons as treasurer by roll call.
The minutes show two nominations for president: DeFord nominated Williams and Elliott nominated DeFord. A ballot was held; "Ms. Williams received 5 votes and Ms. DeFord received 2 votes." Following a motion to close nominations and elect Williams, the board recorded a roll-call vote to elect Williams as president and then elected other officers by unanimous roll call.
DeFord was elected vice president, Hansen clerk and Simmons treasurer; all these officer elections were recorded as carried by roll call with votes recorded as 7-0. Williams also assigned committee roles, naming Genduso as WASB delegate and DeFord as alternate, and appointed Elliott as the Common Council liaison; several delegate and chair positions were tabled for a future meeting.
