THE WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISORS MET IN THEIR FIRST MEETING OF 2025 TO ORGANIZE AND ELECT A NEW CHAIRMAN.
MATTHEW UNG, WHO SERVED AS CHAIRMAN THE PAST TWO YEARS, DID WANT A THIRD TERM, AND STARTED THE MEETING BY ASKING HIS FELLOW SUPERVISORS TO STAY TRUE TO THE MEETING BYLAWS;

THE MOTION TO APPRVE THE BYLAWS WAS THEN APPROVED 5-0.
UNG WAS APPROVED TO TEMPORARILY PRESIDE OVER THE SELECTION OF THE NEW CHAIRMAN.
MARK NELSON AND DANIEL BITTINGER ARE THE OTHER TWO EXPERIENCED SUPERVISORS, BUT BECAUSE NELSON ALSO SERVES ON THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER AUTHORITY, HE SAID HE COULD NOT BE THE SUPERVISORS CHAIRMAN:
