Denton County reappoints three to Child Protective Services Board

The Denton County Commissioners Court approved reappointments to the Denton County Child Protective Services Board during a reconvened session. Commissioner Mitchell moved to reappoint Leigh Ann Kelly, Mark Yarborough and Lorraine Perry; the presiding official announced a second by Commissioner Edmondson and called for a voice vote.

"I move that we reappoint Leigh Ann Kelly, precinct 2 for precinct 2 commissioner, Mark Yarborough for precinct 2 commissioner, and Lorraine Perry for precinct 3 commissioner," Commissioner Mitchell said during the motion. The presiding official asked, "All in favor, say aye," and a court member responded "Aye." The presiding official then stated, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a numerical roll-call tally.

The reappointments discussed were identified on the agenda as item 13(d) and concern seats on the county's Child Protective Services Board. The board provides local oversight and advisory functions related to child-protective services; the transcript does not specify term lengths, effective dates, or the board's immediate work plan.

The motion to reappoint was presented and carried by voice vote; the transcript indicates the motion was moved by Commissioner Mitchell and seconded (reported by the presiding official) as by Commissioner Edmondson. No amendments or opposing arguments are recorded in the transcript. The court adjourned shortly after the action.
