Title
Consider appointment of one Regular Member (Position No. 3) to the Personnel/Trial Board for a term to expire December 31, 2026, and confirmation of appointment by the City Manager to serve as a member of the City of Mesquite Firefighters’ and Police Officers’ Civil Service Commission for a term to expire December 31, 2026.
Body
The City Charter, Article IX-A, establishes a three-member Personnel/Trial Board appointed by the City Council. Additionally, the Texas Local Government Code, Section 143.006, establishes a three-member Civil Service Commission appointed by the City Manager and confirmed by the City Council. By practice, the City appoints the same individuals to both the Personnel/Trial Board and the Civil Service Commission.
Yolanda Shepard is eligible for reappointment and has agreed to serve another term, if appointed. All members serve staggered three-year terms.
