At the commission’s January meeting, members approved edits to the Dec. 5 minutes and elected officers for the 2025 calendar year.

The commission voted to approve the December minutes with changes requested by members; a motion to approve carried on a roll call. Later in the meeting commissioners nominated and voted to install officers for the year: a motion was made to nominate Corey Owens as vice chair, and a separate motion was made to nominate (verbatim from the record) “Terrence sir purpose serve as chair for calendar year 2025.” Both officer nominations passed on roll-call votes.

Why it matters: electing officers sets the commission’s internal leadership for the year and clears the way for staff and members to assign event responsibilities and task groups.

Process notes and clarifications: The transcript records the motion texts and the roll-call answers as noted above. The exact spelling/formatting of the chair nominee in the spoken motion appears garbled in the audio transcript; the motion text above reproduces the wording as it appears in the record rather than substituting an alternative spelling. The commission confirmed that officers do not require a separate swearing-in at the meeting. The meeting chair asked for a roll call for each officer motion and staff recorded the affirmative votes.

Looking ahead: With officers in place, the commission proceeded to event planning for MLK Day and other calendar items.

Ending: The commission closed the business items and moved into substantive event planning for MLK Day and upcoming festivals.
