CITY ORDINANCE RESTRICTIONS ON

On August 3, 1976, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2709 pertaining to
memberships on boards and commissions. The ordinance added Sections 2-25, 2-26,
2-27, 2-28, and 2-29 to the City Code of Ordinances.
Section 2-25 stipulates that a person cannot serve on more than one (1) permanent
board or commission of the City of Garland at any one time, except as required by
membership stipulations of a City board or commission on which a person is serving.
Section 2-26 requires that any board or commission member appointed by the City
Council shall forfeit that membership if he is absent for more than three (3)
meetings, or 25% of the meetings, whichever is greater, in one appointment year,
unless the absenteeism is for medical reasons. Absenteeism may also be excused by
the board or commission of which he is a member or by the City Council. If a
member goes beyond this absenteeism limit, the City Council is required to declare
the position vacant and appoint a new member to fill the vacancy.
Section 2-27 states that the members of all boards and commissions shall possess the
same qualifications and be subject to the same disqualifications as provided by the
Charter for members of the City Council or the general laws of the State of Texas.
Section 2-28 states that board and commission members may serve only two (2)
successive terms on any one board.
Section 2-29 stipulates that pecsons named to represent the City on the boards of
the North Texas Municipal Water District, the Texas Municipal Power Agency, and
the governing bodies of any inter -agency boards and commissions in which the City
may participate in the future are specifically exempt from the provisions of sections
2-26 and 2-28 of this ordinance.
