The meeting record shows a motion and second were recorded for item 47, consideration of an appointment to Emergency Services District No. 1, and the motion passed “5 to 0.” Commissioners then addressed item 48, a proposed reappointment to Emergency Services District No. 2. A speaker raised concern that the county’s practice has been not to reappoint officials after a 10‑year mark and said, “I don't want that to negatively impact all the folks that we've passed up before.” The speaker also noted the applicant under consideration comes from Bolivar, where officials said interest in serving is limited compared with other areas of the county.

Following discussion, commissioners agreed to pull the reappointment item for now so staff can confirm alternatives. One county official said there are other potential appointees but that nominations had not yet been submitted. No formal vote was recorded on the reappointment at the time the item was pulled.

The commissioners did not adopt a policy change during the meeting; they treated the item as pending while staff seek replacement candidates or confirm whether an exception is warranted.","The commissioners voted 5‑0 to approve an appointment to Galveston County Emergency Services District No. 1 and discussed, then pulled, a reappointment for Emergency Services District No. 2 citing a county practice of avoiding reappointments after a 10‑year mark and a lack of local applicants in Bolivar.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6121029,"Galveston County recognizes long‑time clerk Brandy Chat at retirement ceremony",175,177090,352580,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2704481-3b6f6b91475475f1b6f55a30f0c32bbb&start=177&end=352","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2704481-3b6f6b91475475f1b6f55a30f0c32bbb/thumbnail_177090.jpg","/articles/6121029/Galveston-County/Texas/Galveston-County-recognizes-longtime-clerk-Brandy-Chat-at-retirement-ceremony","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6121029-eacbfdec98479a9862beb1157a640977/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434372&Signature=eDj2bA59KC~vZzMhrKxoZNFeXZaMyFun4yqcXmnwKhlMh9SkvBHlH2zIWI3vA9m7amqyyVCDmsjDr9ZK5-9B1cottDzc524fLntcu1MIIo7ML6G42UW2nSFPswR8fdysQZgiQvk3wbjDzjaCKRDBHJD2KFnjX7rp1ot1-yyL7B99eq7k3lE7tYobFx3M0KC~WfrA3KIBZESClKTuuVw~ymZ-YSPw0wLTgF5~Kqml-1iA44hs1wNdAUWZGphA~mdtpNXbWKfEGeI~gVHNNqxpLPxyw6PnVJmFRbs0Ej3cNtNc-X~lJ4hYfvfBRFIERccMl6bcMS6wJT-SwbujuAKviA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Galveston County officials on March 17 recognized court clerk Brandy Chat on the occasion of her retirement after roughly 30 years with the office.

County officials said Chat brought deep institutional knowledge and an attention to detail they called trademarked in the office. A county speaker who addressed the chamber said, “She knows everything about everything in the office,” and described Chat as a long‑time mentor to staff.

The recognition took place during the commissioners’ meeting and included remarks from multiple staff members and an announcement of a small reception. The county said Chat’s daughter Jay drove from College Station to attend the event. A county official invited colleagues to a reception “at 03:00 at the Justice Center” the following Wednesday to mark the retirement.

Officials did not discuss a replacement or operational impact during the remarks. The recognition concluded with commissioners and staff taking photographs with Chat and offering thanks for her service.","Galveston County officials honored Brandy Chat for roughly 30 years of service as a court clerk and announced a small reception at the Justice Center.","actionData","errors"]
