Crockett council approves appointments, recognizes school board month and adopts minutes

The Crockett City Council took several administrative actions during the meeting: it read and approved appointments to the Housing Authority, administered an oath for at least one appointee, approved the minutes from the Dec. 6, 2021 regular session, and issued a proclamation recognizing January 2022 as School Board Recognition Month.

The presiding official read certificate language for housing authority appointments and congratulated the new commissioners. Anne Mills was named during the oath sequence and Pam Veil was noted as succeeding herself with a term end date read aloud. Council also moved and seconded approval of the Dec. 6, 2021 minutes; the presiding officer said, “Motion carries.”

The mayor read a proclamation declaring January 2022 as School Board Recognition Month for Crockett ISD, citing the role of local school board members in meeting students’ needs and encouraging citizens to acknowledge their service.

Council also approved an appointment to the Crockett Economic and Industrial Development Corporation board, voting to accept Warren Taylor; council discussed two potential ex officio candidates (Wade Thomas and Loya Joll) and said those would be placed on a future agenda.

No contested votes were recorded in the transcript; roll-call vote tallies were not provided for these actions.

Next step: staff will place recommended ex officio appointments on a future agenda for a formal vote and process orders for the housing authority appointees.
