Glenn Heights fills CPAC seats amid questions about new application process
Summary
Council appointed four Citizens Police Advisory Committee members for terms beginning June 8, 2026, while some members raised concerns that an application had circulated before the city officially posted it. The mayor said the ordinance gives appointment authority to the mayor and council and that the application was created only recently as an engagement tool.
The council appointed candidates to the Citizens Police Advisory Committee (CPAC): Gabriel Green (Place 2), Chuck Vincent (Place 4), Bridal/Sabrina Green (Place 6), and DeMarcus Offord (mayoral appointment). The motion to appoint the named candidates passed 6-0.
During the discussion, Councilmember Nelda Washington said she was "blindsided" because she had not been aware an application had been circulated; council members requested clarity about how applications and appointments will be handled moving forward. Mayor Sonya A. Brown explained that historically appointments were made directly by the mayor and council under ordinance and that a formal application form was created after the May 5 council meeting as an additional community engagement tool, not as a replacement for the ordinance process.
