Action Requested: Approve Resolution No. 18-034, appointing members to positions on the Community Engagement Committee, Community Enhancement and Development Corporation, Crime Control and Prevention District Board, Library Board, Senior Advisory Commission, and Southlake Arts Council. 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. Applications are available on the City’s website and from the City Secretary’s Office. On May 15, 2012 Council discussed the current board appointment process. At that time, 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, interview applicants , and appoint members in the months of June and October. In preparation for the October 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 October appointments with MySouthlakeNews.com, on social media, and in the Volunteer Southlake newsletter that was sent to 1,965 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. Item 8A On September 13, 2018 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 2018, and noting existing members who expressed an interest to be reappointed. Tonight’s item is the remaining action required by Council to complete the October appointment process.
