June 13, 2017
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Lori Payne, City Secretary
Subject: Resolution No. 17-028, Appointing members to positions on the
Building Board of Appeals, Parks and Recreation Board, Planning
and Zoning Commission, Southlake Parks Development
Corporation, and Zoning Board of Adjustment
Action
Requested: Approve Resolution No. 17-028, appointing members to various
positions on the Building Board of Appeals, Parks and Recreation
Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Southlake Parks
Development Corporation, and Zoning Board of Adjustment.
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.
Members of the public indicate their interest to volunteer by
submitting a completed application to the City Secretary's Office.
Applications are available on the City's website and from the City
Secretary's Office.
On May 15, 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 which allows Council the
opportunity to review applications and appoint members in the
months of June and October.
In preparation for the June appointments, Mayor Hill sent an email
to all board and commission members asking for referrals. The City
Secretary's Office also sent an email to board members with
expiring terms to determine interest in reappointment to their
respective board or interest in a different board. The City
Secretary's Office also publicized the upcoming June appointments
with MySouthlakeNews.com, on social media, and in the Volunteer
Southlake newsletter that was sent to 1,720 subscribers. Staff also
reached out to the public by utilizing the "Notify Me" module on the
City's website that allows members of the public to subscribe to
updates regarding vacancies and bi-annual appointments.
On May 19, Council received a binder that included applications
filed with the City Secretary's Office for these boards as well as an
outline of each board detailing the current membership, terms
expiring in 2017, and noting existing members who expressed an
interest to be reappointed.
Tonight's item is the remaining action required by Council to
complete the June appointment process. The boards identified for
appointment in June, together with the individual place terms set to
expire, are highlighted and listed below.
