Title
Consider appointment of Terry Tosch to the Personnel/Trial Board for a term to expire November 7, 2021, and confirmation of appointment by the City Manager of Terry Tosch to serve as a member of the City of Mesquite Fire Firefighters’ and Police Officers’ Civil Service Commission for a term to expire November 7, 2021.
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:

Terry Tosch 10/05/2015 11/07/2018
Karen Tracy 12/05/2016 11/07/2019
Rachel Lopez 08/07/2017 11/07/2020
