Texarkana board reappoints Meredith Mills to Advertising and Promotion Commission

The Texarkana Board of Directors unanimously reappointed Meredith Mills to the Advertising and Promotion Commission after a roll-call vote during a meeting that reconvened from executive session.

An unidentified speaker moved to reappoint Meredith Mills, saying, “I’d like to make a motion that we reappoint Meredith Mills to the advertising and promotion commission.” The motion was seconded, and the chair conducted a roll-call vote. The transcript records “Yes” votes from Director Roberts; Assistant Mayor Harris; Director Holabisch (the transcript later records a related name as Director Holloway Bush — see note below); Director Brewer; and Mayor Brown. The chair then announced, “And Meredith Mills is appointed to the Advertising Promotion Commission.”

The appointment fills a seat on the city’s Advertising and Promotion Commission, the board said. No additional discussion or objections were recorded on the appointment. The board also announced there was no other business and set its next meeting for Monday, August 4. The meeting was adjourned after a separate motion to adjourn and a second, followed by a unanimous roll-call vote.

Meredith Mills is identified in the transcript only as the appointee; there is no recorded statement from Mills in the meeting record. The transcript attributes all motions, roll calls and announcements to an unidentified meeting speaker (the person who asked the roll and read the results).

Next steps: The appointee was announced as appointed at the meeting; the transcript does not record swearing-in, term length, or whether the appointee had previously served. Those details were not specified in the meeting record.
