If more than one volunteer or nomination is heard, commissioners should cast secret ballots and vote to select a single candidate.
Following identification of a single candidate by secret ballot vote - or - if only one volunteer or nomination is heard, a motion should be made as follows: “I move to approve election of (name of commissioner) to serve as the Chair of the Planning & Zoning Commission. The motion should have a second and then voted upon.
