Body
The City Charter, Article IX-A, establishes a three-member Personnel/Trial Board appointed by the City Council. Each member of the Board serves a three-year term.
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. Members serve staggered three-year terms. By practice, the City appoints the same individuals to both the Personnel/Trial Board and the Civil Service Commission.
Commissioners/Board Members and their terms are as follows:
Appointee Original Appointment Date Term Expires
Vacant 11/07/2017
Terry Tosch 10/05/2015 11/07/2018

Recommended/Desired Action
City Manager Cliff Keheley is recommending the Council appoint Rachel Lopez to serve on the Personnel/Trial Board for a term to expire November 7, 2017, who will also serve on the Civil Service Commission.
