A regular meeting for the Brenham City Council will be held Thursday at 1 p.m. in council chambers at city hall, 200 W. Vulcan Street, to discuss and possibly act upon the appointment of an additional municipal court associate judge.
This item comes on the heels of a unanimous vote to remove William Kendall as municipal judge in October. Kendall, a former city prosecutor, was appointed presiding judge of Brenham Municipal Court in December 2016. He was reappointed in 2018 for a term that was to expire in December 2020.
