Jensen elected vice chair after Mr. Purple steps down

The Seaside commission appointed Ton Jensen as its new vice chair on a voice vote after the previous vice chair, identified in the meeting as Mr. Purple, asked to step down.

Chairman Fuller told the group that Mr. Purple had asked to leave the vice chair role and that the commission should respect his request. Mark nominated Jensen for the vacancy and a second was recorded; when members voted, one member said, “I opposed,” while the motion otherwise carried.

The nomination drew brief discussion about Jensen’s availability; Jensen acknowledged potential schedule constraints later in the year but did not decline the nomination. The commission’s discussion recorded no formal written tally of votes or the names of those who voted yes or no.

The commission moved on to other agenda items following the confirmation. No additional leadership changes were proposed during the meeting.
