Election of Officers
The City Council appointed new commission members to serve on the Economic Development
Commission starting on April 1, 2024, and the annual election of EDC officers will take place at
this month’s meeting.
EDC members elected in April 2023 were Don Seiler as Chair, Lowell Collman as Vice Chair, and
Jessica Christiansen as Secretary.
For the election of officers:
• The existing chair (or vice-chair if chair is no longer on the board) should ask for
nominations from the board members.
o If no officers from the previous board are present, the most tenured member of
the board will handle the nomination process.
o Nominations can be taken individually by position (chair, vice-chair, etc.) or as a
slate of officers.
o This call for nominations should occur three times.
o The presiding officer shall announce that self-nominations are allowed.
• Once three calls for nominations are completed, the chair shall state that nominations are
closed.
• A vote on the positions, either individually or as a slate, shall occur.
o The person with the most votes is elected.
• The newly elected chair takes over presiding duties.
Commissioners are asked to elect officers to serve the April 2024-2025 term.
