Commissioner Maguire elected chair; Commissioner Havelis chosen vice chair

Commissioner Maguire was elected chair at the opening meeting of the year after a nomination and voice vote, the board recorded. The moderator opened nominations and proposed Maguire; after no other nominations, members voted and the motion carried.

Commissioner Havelis was elected vice chair after a member nominated Havelis and members approved the nomination by voice vote. Following the vote, the chair announced "Commissioner Haveless is the vice chair." The record shows the board approved both elections by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The board also approved the meeting agenda and the minutes from the November 2025 meeting by voice vote during the same session. Those procedural approvals were recorded as motions with a second and carried without further debate.

The chair then proceeded to the remainder of the agenda, including scheduling and a short review of board procedures.
