Crime control board fills officer posts at first meeting
Summary
At its first official meeting the Prairie View Crime Control and Prevention District board nominated and approved officers—naming Wilton White president, Mr. Jones vice president, Acting Secretary Carter and Unique Ligins treasurer—and set a follow-up meeting to detail funding for a proposed police station.
The Prairie View Crime Control and Prevention District board held its first formal meeting and moved to establish officers for the new board, naming Wilton White president, Mr. Jones vice president, Acting Secretary Carter as secretary and Unique Ligins treasurer.
Board members opened nominations for president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. A member nominated a colleague for president; another moved to close nominations. Unique Ligins then volunteered for treasurer and spelled her name aloud: “I M U N I Q U E … Ligins,” noting she would serve in that capacity. The chair called for a vote and announced, “ayes have it,” indicating the slate carried.
Members said the election completes an initial organizational step so the board can turn to substantive business. The newly constituted board briefly reviewed the meeting’s second agenda item—considering allocation of crime-control funds toward a new Prairie View police station—and scheduled follow-up work so staff can provide detailed budget recommendations.
The board did not adopt a detailed funding allocation during the officer vote; members asked staff to return with a recommended funding percentage and a full breakdown at a subsequent meeting.
The meeting adjourned after the board set a date for more detailed consideration of the police station funding proposal.
