Summary

Board nominated two current service members, Brad Mitchell and Brock Wheeler, for reappointment to the fire commission and moved a civilian seat (Bert Osteen and applicant Josh Branscum/Branscomb) to action for a decision.

County staff presented vacancies on the fire commission and commissioners nominated reappointments for the two service‑member slots, naming Brad Mitchell and Brock Wheeler for continuation. A commissioner moved the nominations to action so the board could vote on the appointments later in the meeting.

For the civilian seat, staff said Bert Osteen (current fire commissioner) and applicant Josh Branscum (transcript also shows the variant "Branscomb") applied. Commissioners moved to nominate both candidates and to pull the civilian seat for a later selection. "Make a motion to nominate both of them," a commissioner said during the nomination process; the board then moved the item to action.
