Parks board holds nominations for next year's chair and vice chair; transcript records votes but outcome wording is inconsistent

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board opened nominations for chair and vice chair for the fiscal year beginning July 1 during its May 20 meeting.

A board member nominated Jerry Smith to continue as chair and members called for a vote. The transcript records the usual "all in favor" call, but subsequent lines in the recording include conflicting or joking remarks that make the final tally and outcome difficult to verify from this transcript alone. Nominations for vice chair followed; Joe was nominated and members again called for a vote.

Board members agreed to proceed with the process for appointing leadership. Because the meeting lacked a clear quorum earlier in the evening, and because the transcript contains inconsistent lines around the vote tallies and results, staff follow-up in the minutes or at the next meeting will be needed to verify the official outcome and record the chair and vice chair for the coming fiscal year.

Next steps: staff to confirm and publish the official vote tally in the board minutes or at the next meeting.
