Trustees elect Harmon Zuckerman chair; board approves March minutes with one abstention

The Open Space Board of Trustees conducted annual officer elections at its April 9 meeting and approved board minutes from March.

In nominations and vote

Trustee Michelle Estrella nominated Harmon Zuckerman as chair, John Carroll for vice chair, and Leah Russell to serve as secretary. Estrella moved the slate and Trustee Brady seconded the motion; trustees voted by roll call and the slate passed unanimously. Trustees John Carroll, Sarah (last name not stated), Brady, Harmon Zuckerman and Michelle Estrella voted yes.

Approval of minutes

Trustee Estrella moved and Trustee Glenn seconded a motion to approve the March meeting minutes. By roll call the board approved the minutes with four votes in favor and one abstention (Robinson cited absence from the March meeting). The clerk recorded the outcome as 4–0–1 (yes–no–abstain).
