Texas City Independent School District Trustee Joe DeCuir was elected chair of the Galveston Central Appraisal District Board of Trustees on Tuesday. Clear Creek ISD Trustee Robert Davee was elected vice chair; and former Dickinson ISD trustee Gary Jones, the former GCAD chair, was elected secretary/treasurer. Former Friendswood mayor and Friendswood ISD trustee Harold Whitaker and Emory Williams attended their first meeting as GCAD trustees. All five were administered oaths of office by Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough. "This board is certainly critical to our mission," Yarbrough said, adding that all areas of the county are well represented by the board members. Denise Dietrich, a GCAD employee who has served for several years as the taxpayer liaison officer, was reappointed to the position by the board.
