After a contentious debate over whether to change the City of Brownsville minutes of the October 3 meeting to reflect what Commissioner Jessica Tetreau said was a mistaken record of her vote on the selection of an appointee to the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation, the commission unanimously voted to appoint Brownsville Public Utility Board member Nurith Galonsky to that board.
Mayor Tony Martinez cut off discussion from Tetreau and commissioner Ricardo Longoria who wanted to discuss Tetreau's objections and ordered the City Secretary Griselda Rosas to let the minutes of the 2-2 tie on Steve Guerra's appointment remain on the record.
Tereau had filed an affidavit to Rosas to change the minutes to reflect a "yea" vote on the approval of the minutes. Martinez said that a review of the meeting tape indicated that Tetreau had not cast a vote on the issue. Commissioner Ben Neece asked that the chief of police receive the Tetreau affidavit t see if perjury had been committed by her filing the affidavit to show she had voted.
Tetreau said that the two commissioners who sat next to her (Longoria and Cesar de Leon) had heard her vote "yes."
After the discussion, the item to appoint Galonsky was approved unanimously after the motion was made by Longoria and a second by Neece.
