COBAC at-a-glance: committee approves Aug./Sept. minutes and elects officers
The City of Bend Accessibility Advisory Committee on Oct. 23 approved minutes for its August 28 and September 25 meetings and elected officers for the 2025–26 term.

Minutes: A motion to approve the August and September minutes was made by Andrew Caruana and seconded by John Halen. The motion carried; the committee recorded unanimous approval of the minutes.

Elections: The committee conducted nominations and a roll-call voice vote. John Halen was the sole nominee for chair and received affirmative votes from the committee; COBAC confirmed him as chair for the 2025–26 term. For vice chair, members chose between Liz Woodfin and Amanda Hamer; the roll-call resulted in Amanda Hamer being elected vice chair. COBAC’s charter notes the vice chair is automatically nominated for chair after the chair’s term expires and defines one-year terms for each office.

No other formal votes were taken on motions during the meeting; other substantive items were discussed and either deferred or set for follow-up.
