9-1-1 Services Enterprise Board retains existing officers for 2026

The 9-1-1 Services Enterprise Board voted on Jan. 14 to retain its current leadership for 2026, approving a motion to continue Michael Berry as chair, Matt Gaetz as vice chair and Lynn as financial secretary.

The vote took place during a special meeting convened solely to elect the board for 2026. Chair (Speaker 1) called for nominations and said the chair could not make motions, inviting other members to formalize nominations. “I am also open to renewing as chair if, if you'll have me,” said the chair (Speaker 1). Speaker 3 said they were “open to continue as vice chair,” and praised Michael and Lynn for handling much of the board’s work.

A board member (Speaker 4) made the motion: “I would like to make a motion to continue with Michael Berry as chair, Matt Gaetz as vice chair, and… Lynn is financial secretary.” Chair (Speaker 1) asked for a second; Lynn (Speaker 2) replied, “Second.” After affirmative responses, the chair announced, “Motion passes,” and confirmed the board is renewed for the year 2026.

The meeting record does not include a clear, named roll-call tally; the transcript captures multiple “Aye” responses but does not list individual votes. The motion’s mover is recorded as Speaker 4 and the second as Speaker 2 (Lynn). No amendments or alternative nominations were recorded during the meeting.

The chair noted the board’s renewed leadership and said members will next meet on Feb. 4, 2026. The meeting then concluded with brief closing remarks and farewells.

Note: The transcript names Michael Berry and Matt Gaetz in the motion but does not show either Michael Berry or Matt Gaetz speaking during this special meeting; the article does not assert that either named individual spoke at the session.
