MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Area Town Hall had a changing of the guard on Thursday, with the addition of two new board members and the selection of this year’s board leadership.
MATH had been scheduled to hold an election at its January meeting but held off as the result of concerns over nominations, vetting of candidates, election protocol and public noticing.
As a result, the election was rescheduled for the Feb. 13 meeting,
The results of the secret ballot were announced at the end of the meeting by Chair Sally Peterson.
Elected to the two open seats were Lisa Kaplan and Rosemary Cordova, with 80 and 70 ballots, respectively, cast in their favor, Peterson said.
David Thurber received 33 ballots and Claude Brown 26 ballots. Peterson said they will be alternates.
The new board then elected its officers for this year.
Tom Darms was elected chair, with Peterson to serve as vice chair. Secretary Paul Baker said he was willing to continue in the role for another year.
MATH’s next meeting is at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 12, at the Middletown Senior and Community Center.
