Item 5D City of Southlake, Texas
MEMORANDUM
February 12, 2002
TO: Billy Campbell, City Manager
FROM: John Eaglen, Assistant to the City Manager (481-1433)
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 02-006, appointing representatives to the SPIN Standing
Committee for SPIN areas #1 and #13
Action Requested: City Council approval of Resolution No. 02-006, appointing representatives
to the SPIN Standing Committee for SPIN areas #1 and #13 through
December 2003.
Background
Information: The SPIN Standing Committee representatives are appointed for staggered
two-year terms. In January of this year, all of the odd-numbered SPIN areas
terms expired. The City Council appointed representatives for all of the
terms except SPIN areas #1, #9w, and #13 by approving Resolution No. 02-
001 on January 7, 2002. The terms appointed by the City Council at that
time ran through December 2003, and this resolution appoints the
representatives for SPIN areas #1 and #13 for the same time period as those
recently approved by City Council.
At that time the former representatives in SPIN areas #1 and #13 elected not
to seek another term, and there was not another selection for appointment
prior to this time in these areas. SPIN #9w has been vacant since the
summer of last year, and work is progressing on finding a representative for
this SPIN area. In the interim, there are liaisons in SPIN #9w who are
participating but do not wish to be appointed as the representative, and SPIN
#9e Representative Brandon Bledsoe has offered to handle issues that arise in
SPIN #9w until a representative can be appointed.
Financial
Considerations: Not Applicable.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Both Ms. White and Ms. Waters have participated in the SPIN Program as
Liaisons for former SPIN Representatives Kim O'Brien (#1) and Bill Stone
(#13), and have been regularly attending SPIN meetings for the past several
months in order to get acquainted with the other Standing Committee
members. Ms. White has also previously served as the SPIN #1
Representative on the Standing Committee.
Legal Review: Not Applicable.
