At a short organizational meeting of the Livingston County Board of Supervisors, members nominated Mark Shuster as temporary chairman and elected Supervisor Dave Lefebvre as the board chairman; supervisors also discussed committee assignments for 2025 and closed nominations so the secretary could cast one ballot.
The election began when a supervisor nominated Mark Shuster to serve as temporary chairman. "I'd like to nominate Mark Shuster," the nominating speaker said, and the nomination received a second. The board then proceeded to nominate and elect Supervisor Dave Lefebvre as chairman after a motion to close nominations and for the secretary to cast a single ballot. The motion carried on an "aye" vote; the secretary cast the ballot and the result was announced as carried.
The board chair thanked colleagues for their confidence and support. At one point the chair asked "Mr. Pemrazo, supervisor of Cal Johnson, if you'd be willing to serve as vice chair," and received an affirmative reply. The board also directed that supervisors Gore and Walker assist in determining who best would support the chairman, and staff noted that committee assignments for 2025 would be distributed at a later time in public service.
There were no recorded roll-call vote tallies for the individual nominations in the transcript; votes were recorded orally as "aye" and announced as carried. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn, with the motion seconded and carried by voice vote.
The organizational actions set the board's leadership and signaled that committee assignments and other internal organization details will be circulated to supervisors and presented in a subsequent public posting or meeting.
