Committee elects new chair and vice chair, assigns liaisons to related meetings

The committee conducted nominations and approved new leadership by voice vote. Members nominated and approved a committee member identified in the meeting as Anya to serve as chair through the end of her term (noted in the discussion as ending in November). Adrian was nominated and accepted the vice‑chair role. The approvals were taken by voice and carried without a recorded roll‑call tally in the transcript.

Speaker 2 (chairing the meeting) explained that Sarah Mason is stepping down from chair duties because she will serve as the town’s Complete Streets coordinator and that the committee should ensure liaison coverage for related meetings Sarah had attended. Members discussed overlapping meeting schedules and responsibilities and agreed that the Safe Streets for All advisory committee and the Fairfield Traffic Authority need regular liaisons.

Volunteers stepped forward for liaison duties: Sandy volunteered for the Safe Streets meetings (the biweekly Safe Streets for All meeting was discussed as meeting every other Wednesday at 09:30) and another member accepted the monthly Fairfield Traffic Authority (FTA) liaison role (FTA was described as meeting once a month around 4 p.m.). Members also agreed to readdress leadership during the committee’s annual November elections.

The committee recorded the nominations and voice approvals but did not provide a roll‑call vote or exact tallies in the transcript; minutes should record the formal outcome and any absentee members if an official record is required.
