Board appoints James Gabe Brown to fill vacant seat
Summary
After a closed-session discussion, the board voted by voice to appoint James Gabe Brown to a vacant board position; members said paperwork will be submitted to Salem and a judge will be asked to formalize the appointment at a late‑month budget meeting.
A board member moved to appoint James Gabe Brown to fill a vacant board seat, and the motion was adopted by voice vote during the meeting.
The matter followed a closed-session discussion about filling the vacancy. A board member said, "I'll make a motion to appoint James Gabe Brown to fill that vacant position." The motion was seconded and members answered "aye" when asked for approval; no roll-call tally was recorded on the transcript. "Motion passes," the board recorded.
Board members thanked applicants and noted there were two people who applied for the vacancy. A board member said they would contact the selected appointee and the other applicant to notify them of the outcome and would submit paperwork to the proper people in Salem. Board members also said a judge will need to be present to formally appoint the nominee; the board expects to arrange for a judge to attend the end-of-month budget meeting so the appointment can be completed then.
The board also announced a budget meeting near the end of the month; the speaker referred to it as "the 20 eighth" and said it would begin at "05:00," though the transcript did not specify a calendar date or whether the time was a.m. or p.m. No additional substantive business related to the appointment was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The record shows the appointment was made by motion and voice vote; the transcript does not identify who made the motion or who seconded it by name, nor does it record a roll-call vote.
