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 Huffman 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.
On September 16, 2022, 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, and noting existing members who
expressed an interest to be reappointed.
The newly created Southlake Alliance for Community Engagement
will need (12) members, a chair, and vice chair appointment.
The Library Board, Senior Advisory Commission and Southlake
Arts Council will require Chair appointments, as outlined in the
recent updates to Ordinance 1228A.
For the ZBA Alternate No. 3 vacancy, the following persons applied
during the June appointments, but were not appointed: Mark
Flores, Rashan Mizrahi, and Brittany Olawale. These applications
have been included in the packet materials.
The boards identified for appointment in October, together with the
individual place terms set to expire, are highlighted and listed
