Enhancement and Development Corporation, Crime Control and

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
