McLennan County court unanimously appoints Gary Bull Durham as Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1 Place 2
Summary
The McLennan County court voted unanimously to appoint Gary Bull Durham to fill the unexpired term for Justice of the Peace Precinct 1, Place 2 effective Jan. 1, citing a vacancy created by WH Pete Peterson; the court noted the action followed an executive-session consideration of personnel matters under Government Code 551.074.
The McLennan County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to appoint Gary Bull Durham to the office of Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Place 2, effective Jan. 1.
An unidentified court member moved "I make a motion that we accept Gary Bull Durham's appointment effective January 1 for JP 1.2, the unexpired term of WH Pete Peterson for JP with a salary of $96,054." The motion was seconded and the court called for a vote. Commissioners Smith, Wilson, Jones and Commissioner Perry, and Judge Felton each voted "Aye." The presiding officer announced the motion "Pass."
The presiding officer had earlier said the court would go into executive session under Government Code 551.074 for personnel matters; the transcript records that the court discussed the vacancy and the appointment process as Item E3a and that Dustin Chapman was asked to remain in the room during that discussion.
The court’s public action on the appointment included the stated effective date, the referenced salary of $96,054 and the identification of the appointment as filling the unexpired term of WH Pete Peterson. No amendments to the motion or alternate nominees were recorded in the transcript. After the vote the court adjourned.
