Diane Patterson approved as new commissioner
Summary
Participants in an executive-session meeting approved Diane Patterson as a new commissioner by unanimous roll call after a motion and second; the transcript shows little or no discussion before the vote.
Participants in an executive-session meeting approved Diane Patterson as a new commissioner after a motion and a unanimous roll-call vote recorded in the meeting transcript.
The appointment was introduced when the chair asked for a motion to add a new commissioner and a board member said, “I make a motion to approve Diane Patterson as a new member of the board.” Another board member seconded the motion. The clerk called roll and the transcript records affirmative votes from Mills, Joule (the transcript later spells this name as “Jewell” in a subsequent roll call), Holmes, Dodson, Scott and Brewer. The motion carried.
There was no substantive discussion recorded on the appointment; the chair welcomed Patterson but a participant noted she had already left the room. The transcript moves quickly from the appointment to agenda business on averaging and allocations, indicating the appointment was processed without extended debate.
The appointment appears to be a formal addition to the governing body represented in the meeting transcript; the record does not specify the formal name of the board or the authority under which the appointment was made. The transcript does not include Patterson’s remarks or an oath of office.
