Commissioners advise Historical Commission to appoint board of directors

County Commissioners advised the county Historical Commission to appoint a board of directors to ensure the commission was meeting quorum requirements. The Commissioners Court was set to consider appointments of new members to the Historical Commission on Jan. 9, but tabled the agenda item after co-director Susan Smith presented them with the list of potential members. “I think it’s wonderful so many people want to be a part of the historical commission … but that’s too many people” to insure a quorum when the commission meets, Judge Win Graham said. Ms. Smith said commission membership should not be limited to allow any interested citizen to be part of the agency’s mission. “I think we need a working board for the historical commission,” Judge Graham said, suggesting that the board include “someone from Olney, someone from Graham, Newcastle, etcetera.”
