BACKGROUND:
Chapter 772, Texas Health and Safety Code, provides for the Denco Area 911 District Board of Managers to have “two members appointed jointly by all the participating municipalities located in whole or part of the district.”
Each year on September 30, the term of one of the two members appointed by participating municipalities expires. This year it is the term of Mr. Jim Carter. Members are eligible for consecutive terms and Mr. Carter has expressed his desire to serve another term. He has provided the City with his resume for your consideration.
Along with 34 participating municipalities, Denco requests the Carrollton City Council nominate a candidate to be considered to represent the municipality on the Denco Board of Managers.
On June 16th, the Executive Director shall provide the Mayor of each participating municipality the slate of nominees to be considered for appointment to the Denco Area 911 District Board of Managers for the 2-year term beginning October 1st. The notice shall advise the mayor that the City Council shall vote, by resolution from the City, for one of the nominees.
The nominee with the most votes received by the September 15th deadline will be the municipal representative appointed. If there is a tie between two candidates with the most votes, a runoff election will be held immediately.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Nominate a candidate to be considered for the Denco 911 Board of Managers.
