The Brown County commissioners appointed three candidates to the county's child‑welfare board after brief introductions by each nominee and a single voice vote. The chair said the board had "3 highly qualified candidates" and called for a motion to appoint them.

Catherine "Katie" Fisher and Brian So to (as transcribed) spoke to the commission about their interest and qualifications. Katie Fisher told commissioners, "I am a trans woman from Houston, Texas," and described a 20‑year teaching career and bookkeeping work. Brian So to said he has roughly 15 years in pest‑control work and described company efforts to support children with backpacks and clothing donations.

Commission business recorded a motion to appoint the three nominees (mover identified in the record as Commissioner Kelsey; second by Commissioner Reed) and the chair called for a voice vote. The motion carried; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript. The board did not detail a staggered term length or start date during the meeting; those details were "not specified" in the discussion.
