Board of Zoning Appeals elects chair, names vice chair and sets monthly meeting schedule

The Norton Board of Zoning Appeals held a short procedural meeting in which members elected Matt Sorengo as chairman, selected Mr. Williams as vice chairman and voted to meet regularly on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m.

The session opened when an unidentified official said, "I called the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting to order." After a nomination for chairman — "I'd like to nominate, mister Sorengo, Matt" — and a second, the board took a roll-call vote. Members present (Mullins, Smith, Pekarik, Williams and Swerdanko) each responded "Yes," and the nomination passed unanimously, installing Matt Sorengo as chairman.

Shortly thereafter, a member nominated Mr. Williams for vice chairman; that nomination was seconded and approved by the same unanimous roll call. The board then considered scheduling and a motion was made "to move the board of zoning appeals meeting to be on the third Tuesday of every month at 6PM." After no further discussion, the motion was seconded and approved by roll call with Mullins, Smith, Pekarik, Williams and Swerdanko voting in favor.

Board members noted one remaining administrative duty: swearing in, which participants said needed to be completed before concluding formal business. The meeting concluded with brief expressions of appreciation from multiple attendees and a speaker noting, "We'll give you a copy."
