Observation- I do not see an agenda posted for the Elections Committee meeting held in October or November posted on the Website. Also, in my experience, when a committee has differing opinions on a topic it can be solved by having a vote. And, the majority vote takes precedent and then as a committee all members would need to accept that decision. It is ok for committee members to have differing perspectives. But, it should still be a committee decision made together.

It would also be helpful to have committee members introduce themselves at the beginning of the meeting as many of us do not know each other.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
When you have some spare time, check out the Nov 25th Elections Committee meeting on YouTube. At around the 23 minute mark, Ken Petrini gets rather upset with other committee members and abrubtly leaves the meeting. That’s a sham, I mean shame. ${#emotions_dlg.icon_smile1}$

As reported earlier, at a previous public meeting of the Elections Committee, committee member Ken Petrini said the Elections Committee under the previous chair, Tom Piatti, was a "sham." Incredibly not one committee member responded to such a personal attack on Piatti and the committee he chaired.

To his credit, Ransdell in later newspaper interviews said, "Piatti acted with integrity as chair and the committee that was in place after he resigned executed the plan for this year's election that Piatti had developed with the old committee. In no way was this a sham." In fact, Petrini's comment was a disgraceful public attack on a good man who served OPA with honor in a number of positions, including a short stint as a board member.
