At its June meeting the Somersworth Zoning Board of Adjustment elected Matt Kaiser chair and Richard Brooks vice chair, both by unanimous votes.

Anthony Jones nominated Matt Kaiser for chair; the board approved the nomination by voice vote. For vice chair, Ken Vincent nominated Richard Brooks, and the board likewise approved that nomination.

Why it matters: The officer elections establish leadership and the meeting chairs who will run future ZBA sessions and procedural matters.

Meeting context: Nominations were made after the board completed two zoning variance matters for a Lilac Lane parcel. The board took voice votes; members confirmed support and no contested nominations were recorded.
