John Kunak, who was elected to represent Region 1 (Hillcrest, Live Oak, Northbluffs and Hasley Hills), was named president, replacing outgoing President Flo Lawrence.
Kunak previously served on the board from 2000-08, and was termed out, and then ran again in 2012.
Sandia Ennis was named vice president at the meeting; Lloyd Carder was named treasurer; and Jessica Chambers was named secretary.
Kunak has served as president before, and was given a new challenge for his first meeting as president in 2015, he said.
Two members of the group sought nominations for chair of the Land Use Committee — Bonnie Nikolai and Jim Idleman, and both had four supporters a piece.
Kunak’s role as president calls for the appointment of chairs, but they must be approved by the rest of the members, creating an unprecedented conundrum for Kunak.
The two members ended up being nominated as co-chairs.
“Both candidates accepted it and they’re going to work together on the committee,” he said, adding the chair is an organizational role, but he or she does not vote on matters.
