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. With
the exception of Southlake Business Council, appointed members shall be citizens of
Southlake. 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, interview applicants and
appoint members in the months of June and October.
The new appointment process was communicated to the public, existing board members and
staff liaisons. Staff publicized the appointments via city website, MySouthlakeNews.com, and e-
mail. The appointment process is also outlined on the individual board and commission website
pages.
The City Secretary's Office sent an e-mail to existing board members to determine if they are
interested in being reappointed to their respective board or if they have an interest to be
considered for another board, commission or committee. Members were asked to respond no
later than Friday, May 5.
In preparation for the appointments, Council received a binder that included applications filed
with the City Secretary's Office for the above mentioned boards. Staff scheduled two separate
meetings for Council —May 28 to review applications and June 11 to interview new applicants.
Applications received after the deadline were forwarded to Council if the applicant expressed an
interest in serving on one of the above -identified boards.
On May 28, Council was presented with an outline of each board that detailed the current
membership, terms expiring in 2013, existing members who expressed an interest to be
reappointed, and applications on file with the city.
Tonight's item is the remaining action required by Council to complete their June appointments
for 2013.
