Owen County board re-elects president, names vice president and adopts meeting calendar

The Owen County board voted to retain Sandra as president for the coming year and appointed Alfalfio as vice president during its regular meeting. Unidentified Speaker 1 moved 'I would like to make a motion for Sandra to remain our president for the coming year,' and the motion passed after a vocal 'Aye.'

The board then nominated Alfalfio as vice president; Unidentified Speaker 1 said, 'Alfalfio will be our vice president, and I will second that,' and members affirmed the selection. After the officer changes, the board considered its meeting calendar and discussed potential conflicts with the county commissioners’ adjusted meeting dates. Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to adopt the calendar 'as is,' the motion was seconded, and the chair stated, 'Motion carries.'

The calendar discussion focused on coordinating with commissioner meeting schedules and avoiding conflicts when commissioners hold evening sessions. Board members noted a mix of morning and evening meetings among related bodies, and they agreed to monitor potential conflicts and adjust as needed. The board also discussed scheduling a quarterly executive session, possibly starting in March, and agreed to coordinate dates with absent member Corbin.

The meeting concluded the agenda items related to reorganization and calendar adoption with no recorded roll‑call vote tallies in the transcript. The board’s immediate procedural actions were: confirming Sandra as president, appointing Alfalfio as vice president, and adopting the meeting calendar pending any needed future adjustments.
