Body
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3257 establishing a Board of Directors for the Towne Centre Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) No. Two on September 21, 1998.

The City Council appoints seven members to the Towne Centre TIRZ Board to serve two-year terms. Due to the recent City Council elections, this action is taking place earlier than the actual term expiration date for the current Board members. In addition, the Mesquite Independent School District no longer has participation in the Towne Centre TIRZ No. Two and will, therefore, no longer have representation on the Board.

The board members whose terms expire on December 31, 2020, are listed below:

City of Mesquite Mesquite ISD
Stan Pickett, Chairperson Elaine Whitlock
Jeff Casper Kathryn Bohling
Dan Aleman Gary Bingham
Jeff Jones

Each year the Council appoints one member of the Board to serve as Chair for a one-year term beginning January 1. The Chairperson whose term expired on December 31, 2019, is Stan Pickett.
