Fort Thomas Tree Commission reappoints John, names Leonard vice chair

The Fort Thomas Tree Commission voted to preserve its existing meeting schedule and approved new leadership during its regular session. Members appointed John to serve as chair and nominated Leonard as vice chair; both actions were approved by voice vote after motions and seconds on the floor.

The appointments came as commissioners discussed vacancies and the need for continuity after John expressed he was considering stepping down earlier in the year because of other commitments. Chairman Bryant presided over the nominations and called for voice votes. Members responded in the affirmative and congratulated the new vice chair.

Commissioners said the existing meeting dates and times on the packet would remain in place unless members later request a change. No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; outcomes were taken by voice vote. The commission adjourned at the end of the meeting after completing the agenda.
