Before the meeting was called to order, both Shannon Hamons and Maryor John Terrell spoke to the
members of SBC individually and indicated it was up to the members as a group to determine the role of SBC
moving forward. After Hamons and Terrel left, the membership discussed if SBC was still needed since the
role and responsiveness of the Chamber of Commerce had become greater within the last year; the City was
establishing a more detailed work agreement with the Chamber; and SBC had never developed a defined
sense of purpose and struggled to attain a quorum during the last year and -a -half.

Chairman Schirle called the meeting to order at 7:53 p.m.
2. Members voted on the Future of the Southlake Business Council
Motion: Disband the SBC under the conditions the City would work more closely with the Southlake
Chamber of Commerce to accomplish the tasks that would otherwise have been assigned to the SBC.
