Commissioners discuss formation of Scurry County Historical Commission, present slate of nominees
Summary
Following the death of longtime chair Drew Bullard, county staff presented a slate of nominees for the Scurry County Historical Commission and asked the Commissioners Court to appoint members; no formal vote appointing the slate was recorded.
Scurry County Commissioners discussed reconstituting the Scurry County Historical Commission after the death of longtime chair Drew Bullard and a staff member presented an 11‑person slate of nominees for the commission.
County staff listed proposed members and officers, including Jean Burns as chair and Vanessa Murray as vice chair, and named additional nominees (Elizabeth Tolan, Laurie Rowland, Melissa Rico, Jay Goebel, Jerry Cochran, Eli Torres, Josh (surname unclear), Misty Chapman and Libby Wiggins). Staff noted both prior signatories on the commission bank account are deceased and that the commission is required by state law to file an annual report.
Commissioners were asked to formally appoint the commission; the court discussion indicated staff would proceed with appointments and delegation for required reporting, but the meeting record does not show a formal roll‑call vote or completed appointments during the session.
Next steps: staff will return with formal appointment language and complete any necessary administrative changes, including updating checking account signatories and documenting the commission's annual reporting obligations.
