Pelissier and Yuhasz were elected in 2008 and each received unanimous support from the commissioners during the organizational meeting vote.

McKee fills the place held by Mike Nelson, who did not seek a second term in office. He had served as the board’s vice chairman.

Former Chairwoman Valerie Foushee remains on the board.

Along with McKee, incumbents Barry Jacobs and Alice Gordon were sworn in for another four-year term.
