BOARDS & COMMISSIONS APPOINTMENT
PROCESS
The democratic
experience is built upon the foundation of citizens becoming actively
involved in their local government. Consistent with this
principle, Sachse's Charter provides for the City Council to utilize
citizen volunteers to assist in carrying out the many important
functions of municipal government by serving on one of the City's
Advisory Boards and Commissions. Citizens play an important role in
the activities of city government. While
the city has many dedicated employees, it still depends upon the resource
of its citizen advisors on volunteer boards, commissions and committees as
well as subject matter task forces to exercise its home rule
responsibilities. Each year during November, the Sachse City Council considers applicants for appointments to the following Boards and Commissions: ¨ PLANNING
AND ZONING COMMISSION ¨ BOARD
OF ADJUSTMENTS ¨ PARKS
AND RECREATION COMMISSION ¨ LIBRARY
BOARD ¨ ANIMAL SHELTER BOARD ¨ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS ¨ TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) BOARD
The Sachse Home Rule Charter
establishes certain qualifications that must be met by all members of city
boards, commissions and committees. An applicant or member of a City
board or commission must be a resident of Sachse Selection
Process Anyone wishing to serve, including current
members must submit an application during the month of September.
Appointments will be made by the City Council in
November for two-year
terms. Terms are staggered
whereby one-half of the membership is appointed each year. It is imperative that members maintain regular attendance at
meetings. Any member who will
not be in attendance must notify the chairman of his/her absence prior to
the meeting. Three of five
absences, or absences from four consecutive meetings may result in
notification to the City Council of the absences. All applicants will be notified of appointment by mail.
Applicants who were not appointed will be reconsidered as vacancies
occur. Applications will be
maintained on file for one year.
