11:30: Candidates for Eastern Vice Chairman are speaking. Motion for roll call vote for election was defeated. Jennifer Lee nominates Chris Marston for Eastern Vice Chairman. Linda Bartlett (VFRW) nominates Mauricio Tamargo for Eastern Vice Chairman. This is to replace the position held for many years by Kevin Gentry who resigned after the senate nominee was chosen.

From Erika Dyer’s FB: “Chair Thomas suggested the following rules: Candidates for Chair will be given 7 minutes, candidates for EVC will be given 5 minutes. Members will cast their votes on written ballots. Ballots will be counted by tellers committee, two people from each candidate on the committee. 10th CD Chair Nicholson made a motion for and is speaking in favor of a role call vote. Jeff Ryer is speaking against the motion.”

Erika added, “When it comes to matter of personnel, we’ve always voted via private ballot to ensure less infighting. Nothing prevents us from individually stating who we voted for. I voted in favor of secret ballot. Division on roll call vote: motion defeated. The rules Chairman Thomas suggested were approved. We are now taking a less than 5 minute recess so the candidates can choose their representatives for the tellers committee and prepare to speak.”

10:45: Meeting has been called to order. Went into executive session.
