Item 76: Consideration of appointments to boards and commissions (Executive Session, if
necessary, Personnel, Sec.551.074, T.O.M.A.)
The city secretary distributed a report showing board and commission vacancies and nominations,
updated through April 9, 1996.
The city secretary noted that since the report was prepared additional information had been received
updating the background review status for one nominee. The city secretary stated that the report
should now show that Carla Wilson, nominated to an "individual-appointment" position on the
Judicial Nominating Commission, meets all qualifications for appointment to that board.
Mayor Kirk recommended that the city council only consider appointing persons nominated to
"individual-appointment" positions and to postpone the appointment of members of "full-council"
boards. There being no objection to this procedure, Mayor Kirk asked the city secretary to review
the board nominations report with the city council, indicating any change in the background review
status of a nominee. The city secretary went over the nominations, noting changes in the background
review status where necessary.
. . .
Councilmember Fielding noted that the city secretary had informed him that his nominee to the
Dallas Citizens Police Review Board had previously forfeited his position as a member of a board
in that he was unable to attend the minimum number of meetings as required by Section 8-20 of the
City Code, and that he could not be appointed to the board unless the city council determined, in
accordance with Section 8-1.4(a)(7) that he had a creditable record of attendance and performance
in previous board service and that the forfeiture should not serve as a disqualification.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Luna moved to appoint to the boards and commissions of the city all of the
individuals nominated to "individual-appointment" positions who meet all qualifications for
appointment to the board or commission as determined by the city secretary and as reported to the
city council for terms ending August 31, 1997, to find that Anthony (Tony) Garrett had a creditable
record of attendance and performance in his previous board service and to appoint Anthony (Tony)
Garrett as a member of the Dallas Citizens Police Review Board for a term ending August 31, 1997,
and to postpone consideration of individuals nominated to "full-council appointment" positions until
a future meeting of the city council.
