City outlines boards appointment timeline and community announcements

Deputy city secretary Amanda Valdez briefed the council on the annual recruitment and appointment schedule for the city’s boards, committees and commissions. Valdez said applications remain open through July 30 and that council will consider reappointments and filling vacancies at the Aug. 6 meeting; interviews are reserved for early September if needed and terms begin Oct. 1.

Valdez identified several potential vacancies across appointed bodies, including the Building Codes Board of Appeals, Capital Improvements Advisory Committee, Municipal Development District Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Transportation Safety Advisory Committee, and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In several cases incumbents have requested reappointment and the city has received few new applications so far.

The meeting concluded with council announcements — a community 5K with possible traffic impacts, city offices closed for the July 4 holiday, and a July 4 fireworks event at the country club — and adjournment at approximately 8:28 p.m.
