McHenry County Board members chose a Chairman Monday morning during the organizational meeting of the Board. Ken Koehler, District 2, was re-elected to another term as chairman. He has served in this capacity since first being elected to the position by board members in December 2004 and being re-elected every two years since.
There was a contest for the seat offered by the nomination of Marc Munaretto, District 1. Following discussion regarding the candidates, the nominating process and some of its considerations, the vote for Koehler won out 15 to 8 over Munaretto.
During discussion by Board members regarding the two nominees for Board Chair, remarks were heard concerning term limits for the position, however, nothing was proposed at this time to make a change in the current rules which does not include term limits.
John Jung, of District 5 was elected as Vice Chair of the Board. He previously served as vice-chair before he was unseated from the Board by Democratic candidate Paula Yensen in 2008. Jung unseated another Democratic Board member, Jim Kennedy, in the November 2010 election.
Other housekeeping matters accomplished by the Board included the reseating of Board members who chose to move to a different seat and the appointment of members to a Committee on Committees, to set up committee appointments for the new term.
