So
now
we
will
conduct
the
election
of
the
chairman
of
the
County
Council.
What
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
ask
you
if
you
want
to
make
a
nomination
when
I
open
the
floor
for
nomination
state
your
name,
so
it's
clear
for
the
record
and
then
the
person
that
you
are
wanting
to
nominate
to
I
will
now
open
the.

B

Three
and
I
like
to
nominate
Mrs,
Alice
Howard
for
vice
chair
for
two
reasons,
one
as
Vice
chair,
because
Mr
passima
is
south
and
abroad.
Traditionally,
Council
has
been
sharing
that
Vice
chair,
chair
position,
north
and
south
of
the
broad
I
think
it's
important
to
continue
that
as
much
as
possible,
and
the
other
reason
is
that,
if
elected,
she
would
bring
diversity
to
council
being
that
she
is
a
female.
Thank
you.
G
Seeing
no
other
nominations:
I
will
close
the
nominations
for
vice
chair.
We
will
vote
in
the
order
in
which
they
were
nominated,
so
we
will
take
Mr
McClellan
first,
as
I
call
for
the
nominations,
I
mean
as
I
call
on
you.
Will
you
please
say
yes
or
no
on
the
office
of
Vice
chair
for
Mr,
McClellan,
Miss
Howard,
no.
