Brandon Donnell selected to fill DeKalb County Commission Third District seat
Summary
After nominations and roll‑call voting, commissioners selected Brandon Donnell to fill the vacant Third District seat; the appointee must be sworn before voting on commission business.
The DeKalb County Commission filled the Third District vacancy at its meeting, selecting Brandon Donnell by roll‑call vote. Commissioners opened the floor for nominations, received three names and then closed nominations before individual roll calls for each nominee.
The clerk reported vote totals after balloting: Brandon Donnell received 10 votes in favor and 3 opposed; the other nominees received fewer votes. The chair declared Donnell the majority winner and invited him to the commission table. Commissioners noted Donnell could not vote on commission business until he was sworn in.
The commission followed its stated procedure: nominations, individual roll calls for each nominee and a plurality/majority determination. No formal motion to appoint with a mover and seconder was recorded in the roll‑call sequence; the process concluded with the clerk certifying the tally and the chair announcing the result.
Commissioners congratulated Donnell and reminded residents the appointee will be sworn at a later time before exercising voting privileges.
