TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING
REVISION TO COMMISSION, COMMITTEE, AND BOARD HANDBOOK.
Mayor Smith explained that the recommended changes are going back to the basics. The Committees
were created to serve at the pleasure of the Council and to save the Town money. The Council will
exercise its option to interview candidates for openings on committees. Staff liaison attendance at
meetings will not be mandatory, but can be requested by the chairman. The chairman will be
responsible for a monthly update to the Council, the position of the Council liaison will be eliminated.
All chairmen will need to submit a separate application and will need to be approved by the full
Council. In addition, there will be a statement added for diversity as well as a signature page stating
the member has read, understands and complies with changes to handbook.
Mr. Billy Hughes of 216 Inverness, Mr. Nestor Karlis of 259 Oak Hill Drive, and Ms. Margaret Best
of 27 W. Hillside Place addressed the Council.
Mr. Jon Seale of 5 Greenbriar Court asked to have the following read into the record on his behalf:
Mr. Mayor and Council,
I understand that there are some proposed changes to the way committees are staffed
and operated. Although I don't see any problems with the way they run now, I'm sure that
you know about issues that I do not. I'm not going to belabor the point of why, but simply
address my concerns with the changes, as I understand them.
Council Interviews:
I think having Town Council involvement in the interview process is a great idea, after all
you are the elected body which will be held accountable for a committee's actions. I
know, however that interviews have been a regular thing for the IT committee, and I'd
hate to prolong this process by having to wait for room on a council agenda, or
scheduling of a workshop. I know that we are all very busy, and adding an additional
item to your schedule may not desirable. Sure, you could conduct all interviews once a
month as a regularly scheduled workshop, but I think you'd want the input of the existing
committee members, and that may simply not be possible considering all of our various
schedules.
I believe that ultimately the Committees should have the duty, and trust of the Council to
elect their own members, with a more involved Council affirmation process.
Committee Appointment Requirements:
I believe that committee members should be well qualified. I think existing committee
members are in the strongest position to make these judgments. In the IT Committee, we
have a varied number of skills required to manage the Town's Website and advise on IT
matters. A simple IT resume (even a glorious one) is not enough to fill a position, we
must consider the particular skill set of the individual and the current needs of the
Committee. In filling our most recent position, we had a void left by the resignation of
our primary Web Developer. This created a particular need, and required a particular skill
set. I don't think the Town Council was in a position, or has the time, to research, review,
interview, and approve every position on every committee. I would think (and hope) that
the same is true on each committee, that various members have varied skills and as a
position becomes open and needs change, that a particular skill set is required to fill a
particular position. We wouldn't want a bunch of IT Project Managers on the IT
committee, we need Developers, E-mail gurus, documentation experts, etc.
I see the staffing of Committees much like the staffing in a company, The Council is the
Executive Board, with absolute approval/rejection of staffing needs. The Town Staff
Liaison is the Senior Manager, and the Committee is the management team, and should
be tasked with staffing.
Appointment of Officers:
Page 6 REGULAR SESSION June 3, 2002
I think letting the Committee choose it's own officers is a fundamental requirement. The
Committee must be led by someone who is respected and well qualified for the tasks at
hand (which change from year to year).
The IT committee had on its most recent agenda an action to discuss a related matter. My
opinion is that Committee Chairpersons should be re-elected by the committees on an
annual basis, with annual affirmation by the Council, and a maximum of two consecutive
terms. In the case of Committees with Co -Chairpersons (such as the IT Committee), then
the terms may be two years, with alternating elections (similar to the Town Council
terms), with no consecutive terms.
Reduced Involvement of Council Liaison:
I think this is a mistake. The committee needs to be in tune with the Council's direction.
If there are political concerns, one possible solution might be to rotate Council members
through all committee meetings. The Committees are to serve at the will of the Town
Council, and disconnecting them in this way reduces their effectiveness.
Reduced Involvement of Staff Liaison:
In the case of the IT Committee, this would be a nightmare. Our primary function is to
support Beth Ann. We cannot do this without her active involvement. In some
Committees, this may be optional, but I would strongly advise that the existing Staff
Liaison be given heavily weighted input into this decision. I cannot speak definitively
about all committees, but I can see where this increases the workload of the Town Staff. I
think adding some responsibility to the Committees is in order, to reduce this workload,
but again, we serve the Town, we must be connected to do that.
Monthly Reporting:
Wonderful. This gives the entire Council a view into each committee.
I thoroughly enjoy serving the town, working with the Town Staff, and look forward to
continuing to do so.
Sincerely, Jon Seale, 5 Greenbrook Court, Co -Chairman - IT Committee

RE: Revisions to the Town Board, Commission & Committee Handbook
Agenda Item #13, Town Council June 3, 2002, Meeting
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
One year after the Town incorporated, its elected officials realized that for cost efficiency
and to boost citizen participation in government affairs, the Town needed citizen
volunteers to serve on its boards, commissions and committees.
The current volunteer committee structure has served the Town well during the Eighties,
Nineties and now the Twenty -First Century.
I attended the June 1, 2002, Town Council Workshop where Agenda Item #13 was
discussed. It concerns several material revisions to the Town's Board, Commission &
Committee Handbook that the Council is considering.
The material changes that have been proposed include allowing the Council without the
committee's input to appoint new members to the respective committees and also pick the
committee's chairpersons.
Before the Town Council adopts such material changes to the Town's committee
structure, it should obtain the formal input from the various volunteer committees. For the
Council to adopt the proposed changes without obtaining the respective committee
Page 7 REGULAR SESSION June 3, 2002
recommendations would be an arbitrary action, when you consider the value realized by
the Town.
The committees assist the Town in controlling its expenses and provide a useful avenue
for citizen involvement in government decisions. I advocate that before the Council
adopts the proposed measures, that it obtains the committee's recommendations on the
proposal.
If the Council takes unilateral action on this matter, it will be disrespectful to the abilities
and qualifications of the existing committee members to govern their own affairs. I
remind the Council that it has approved all of the existing committee members.
Sincerely, Neil Twomey 203 Oakmont Drive, Trophy Club, Texas 76262, 817-430-1809
Mr. Jim Best of 18 Fairgreen asked to have the following read into the record:
Hello,
I am unable to attend this evening's council meeting due another family obligation.
Therefore, I'd like to know if my thoughts can be entered into record in regards to the
apparent changes to the committee structure our town now has. I did not see any specifics
on the agenda in regards to the proposed changes to the structure of the committee, but
understand this subject was discussed in a workshop.
I'd like to represent the idea that the present form of volunteer committee is a
representation of the town from a perspective of specific expertise within a given area and
is void of political consideration(s). Before a decision or vote is made I would hope that
there is thorough discussion to communicate what impact is anticipated and what situation
or problem these changes remedy.
Essentially, I am asking the council to consider if it is the goal and intention of the council
to turn the IT Committee (and all others) into a political instrument(s) of the council? If
this is the goal, why? What is the underlying purpose of the committee structure? How
will this change the interaction between volunteerism and elected entities?
Hypothetically, let us presume that the IT Committee is transformed into an appointed
non-technical group comprised of folks with talent and backgrounds outside the field of
Information Technology. How would such an IT Committee make recommendations that
are technically valid and appropriate? How would this committee function in regards to
assisting our towns IT staff in regards to our town web site and evaluating IT challenges
our town presents? How would the council evaluate committee membership appointment
and by what criteria?
Would such a committee be limited to making recommendations to solicit external
expertise at significant cost to our town?
In my opinion, if changes are made to committee structure, we should look for ways to
make it more appealing for volunteers to invest their time. We need to get to the point
where the council liaison represents and communicates committee activities to the council
and the staff liaison communicates committee activities to town management.
Regards, Jim Best, Co -Chair IT Committee, Town of Trophy Club
Mayor Smith asked for a motion to approve changes.
Further discussion was held.
Council Member Edstrom made a motion to approve the changes for staff attendance and include
(keep) a council liaison, that all meetings be taped, that there will be no application for the chairmen,
