Loading...
Summary
At the March 10 special meeting, commissioners administered oaths to Marcia Buford and Aaron Whitley after appointing them to the Chatham Area Transit Authority board; oaths were read by a judge present at the meeting.
The Chatham County Board of Commissioners used its special meeting on March 10 to swear in two appointees to the Chatham Area Transit Authority board.
Judge Karpi (introduced by the presiding officer) administered the oath of office for board members. Marcia Buford stated her name, accepted an appointment to the Chatham Area Transit Authority board and affirmed she was qualified to hold the office; she signed the oath and was congratulated. Aaron Whitley likewise stated his name, accepted the appointment, affirmed the oath and signed.
The judge read the formal oath language for each appointee and asked them to state their names and affirm. Both appointees confirmed the oath with the phrase recorded in the transcript and were congratulated by the presiding officer.
The appointments were presented as part of the meeting’s business and the board completed oath administration before adjourning. The transcript does not include motion text, mover/second names, or recorded roll-call vote tallies for these individual appointments; the judge and the presiding officer handled the ceremonial swearing and documentation on the record.
The board’s action places Marcia Buford and Aaron Whitley on the Chatham Area Transit Authority board; the meeting record indicates they accepted and signed oaths and that the appointments are now official pending any further administrative steps.
