MEMORANDUM
February 12, 2015
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Lori Payne, City Secretary
Subject: Resolution No. 15-013, appoint members to vacant positions on the
Planning and Zoning Commission and on the Zoning Board of
Adjustment (and naming a Chairman and Vice Chairman)
Action
Requested: Appoint members to vacant positions on the Planning and Zoning
Commission and on the Zoning Board of Adjustment (and naming a
Chairman and Vice Chairman)
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.
There have been two recent board vacancies that staff wants to
bring to Council's attention: Shawn McCaskill resigned from the
Planning and Zoning Commission and John Huffman resigned from
the Zoning Board of Adjustment. As there are three other vacant
alternate positions on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, that board
could potentially encounter a quorum issue.
The City Secretary's Office has existing applications on file for
persons interested in serving on either of these two boards. In your
packet is a folder which contains copies of these applications along
with a listing of current board members and attendance records. A
listing of these interested persons are below:
