Council approves Brett Woody of Elegance Law as public defender for Rainier cases
Summary
Council reviewed and approved appointing Brett Woody (Elegance Law) to handle Rainier public-defender cases, replacing Preston White; the appointment was presented without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
Council considered appointing Brett Woody of Elegance Law as the public defender assigned to Rainier cases after Preston White left to join the Thurston County prosecuting attorney's office. A council member explained the change was procedural for case coverage: "Preston White previously... he referred this gentleman to us to take the Rainier cases."
Tim summarized the nomination: "Brett Woody with Elegance Law is now our public defender as long as you approve it tonight." A council member responded, "I approve," and the item was moved and seconded; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote but does not include a formal roll-call or a numeric tally for the appointment. The transcript does not change contract terms or prices, according to the speaker.
The transcript records no further debate or conditions. The appointment replaces the prior public-defender assignment for Rainier cases; the record does not include contract text, effective date, or compensation details.
