Item 8A I CITY OF tem 8A SOUTHLAK- MEMORANDUM October 11 , 2016 To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Lori Payne, City Secretary Subject: Resolution No. 16-050, Appoint members to various positions on the Community Engagement Committee, Crime Control and Prevention District Board, Library Board, Senior Advisory Commission, and Southlake Arts Council. Action Requested: Appoint members to various boards, commissions and committees. Background Information: Each year, the City Council appoints members of the public to various boards, commissions and committees. Each member is appointed for a two-year term, unless indicated otherwise. Appointed members shall be citizens of Southlake and registered voters. Members of the public indicate their interest to volunteer by submitting a completed application to the City Secretary's Office (CSO). Applications are available on the City's website and from the CSO. In 2012, Council discussed the current appointment process for boards, commissions and committees. At this meeting, Council directed staff to implement bi-annual appointments to ease the process for Council, staff and applicants. At the direction of Council, staff prepared a schedule for appointments to occur in the months of June and October. Currently, the CSO publicized these October appointments and volunteer opportunities with MySouthlakeNews.com; via social media; placed an article in the Volunteer Southlake newsletter; and sent an e-mail/text to 277 subscribers via the Notify Me module on our website. The Notify Me module allows members of the public to subscribe to updates pertaining to board and commission openings. Staff members also reached out to existing board members whose terms expire in October 2016 to determine if they were interested in continuing to serve on their respective board or another board. In preparation for the appointments, Council received a binder that included applications filed with the CSO for the above mentioned boards. Council has been presented with an outline of each board that detailed the current membership, terms expiring in 2016, existing members who expressed an interest to be reappointed, and applications on file with the City. In total, there are 19 applications included in your binder for consideration. The boards identified for appointment in October, together with the individual board terms and vacancies (highlighted in yellow) set to expire in October 2016 are below: Community Engagement Term to Expire Request to be reappointed Committee Sherry Berman September 2017 N/A Place 1 Craig Rothmeier September 2016 No Place 2 Randy Robbins September 2017 N/A Place 3 Ben Siebach September 2016 Yes Place 4 David Alexander September 2017 N/A Place 5 Bobbie Heller September 2016 No Place 6 Heather DeLapp September 2017 N/A Place 7 Crime Control and Prevention Term to Expire Request to be reappointed District Board Ken McMillan, President September 2017 N/A Place 1 Robert Williams September 2017 N/A Place 2, Vice President Frank Powers September 2017 N/A Place 3 Richard Sandow September 2017 N/A Place 4 Mary Grace Thoennes September 2016 Yes Place 5 William McGuire September 2016 Yes Place 6 Craig Sturtevant September 2016 Yes Place 7 Library Board Term to Expire Request to be reappointed Lori Burr October 2016 Yes Place 1 Cheri' Ross October 2016 Yes Place 2 Vacant October 2016 N/A Place 3 Vacant October 2017 N/A Place 4 Sheeza Mohsin Dhanani October 2017 N/A Place 5 Kelly Carlson October 2017 N/A Place 6 Lin Lin October 2017 N/A Place 7 Senior Advisory Commission Term to Expire Request to be reappointed Jean Boland October 2016 Yes Place 1, Vice-Chairman Bernice McCauley October 2016 Yes Place 2 Vacant October 2016 Yes Place 3 Barbara Pappy October 2017 N/A Place 4 Esther Spickler October 2016 Yes Place 5 Beverly Blake Yes Place 6, Chairman October 2016 (submitted an application but does not appear to be a registered voter) Margie Kyle October 2017 N/A Place 7, Secretary Jim Miller October 2017 N/A Alternate 1 MaryLee Alford October 2016 Yes Alternate 2 Southlake Arts Council Term to Expire Request to be reappointed Leslie Bartlett October 2017 N/A Place 1, Chairman Merlene Ingraham October 2016 Yes Place 2 Jesika Cook October 2017 N/A Place 3, Secretary Terri Messing October 2016 Yes Place 4 Devika Seth October 2017 N/A Place 5 Miriam Murray October 2016 Yes Place 6, Vice-Chairman Tamara McMillan October 2017 N/A Place 7 Kelly Trager October 2017 N/A Alternate 1 Financial Considerations: Non-applicable Strategic Link: C5: Promote opportunities for partnerships and volunteer involvement Citizen Input/ Board Review: Non-applicable Legal Review: Non-applicable Alternatives: None Supporting Documents: Resolution No. 16-050 Board and Commission application binder (previously provided to Council) Staff Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 16-050, appointing members to various positions on the Community Engagement Committee, Crime Control and Prevention District Board, Library Board, Senior Advisory Commission, and Southlake Arts Council RESOLUTION NO. 16-050 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, APPOINTING MEMBERS TO VARIOUS POSITIONS ON THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE, CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BOARD, LIBRARY BOARD, SENIOR ADVISORY COMMISSION, AND SOUTHLAKE ARTS COUNCIL, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
