STAFF REPORT
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
Date: September 5, 2019
Agenda Item No: WORK SESSION - A.
I. Subject:
Interviews of applicants for appointment to Advisory Boards and Commissions
II. Originated by:
Leslie E. Galloway, City Secretary & Communications Coordinator
III. Summary:
As Council is aware, odd-numbered Advisory Board and Commission seats expire in September of odd years. Staff
began sending emails to those with expiring terms on July 24, 2019, as well as posting information about how to apply
for a board or commission on the City's website, Facebook, Twitter, and newsletter.
During the July 16, 2019 Work Session, the consensus among the Council was to only interview new applicants. The
seven new applicants are scheduled in the following order:
5:00 p.m. Keith Courtney
5:15 p.m. Ann Beck
5:30 p.m. Jessica Virnoche
5:45 p.m. Jeremy Johnston
6:00 p.m. Break
6:15 p.m. Andrew Schaffer
6:30 p.m. Heather Hicks
6:45 p.m. Austin Degenhart
Attached to this item are a roster of all current boards (indicating any expiring terms or vacancies) and the 29
applications received. New applicants are attached first (1-7), followed by those who are applying for an additional
board or have previous service history (8-15), and, finally, those who are reapplying as incumbents (16-29). One
application (Bo Massengill) is not included here, as the applicant no longer lives in Kennedale.
An action item to consider making appointments to the various Advisory Boards and Commissions will appear on the
September 17 Regular Meeting agenda, along with a Work Session item to continue interviews, if needed.
CITY OF KENNEDALE ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
The City maintains six advisory boards, five of which are advisory to Council, and provide feedback, updates, and
recommendations on projects, actions, and other relevant topics:
Keep Kennedale Beautiful Commission (KKB)
Parks and Recreation Board
Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z)
Utility and Infrastructure Board
Youth Advisory Council (YAC) (application process occurs in the Spring)
One board is advisory to staff:
Library Advisory Board
The City currently maintains two* quasi-judicial boards, which are tasked with enforcing public policy and making
legally-binding decisions based on the authority given to the board by state law. These boards also provide feedback
and updates Council:
Board of Adjustment (BOA)
Building Board of Appeals (BBA)
*While these are, indeed, two separate boards, for the purposes of the City of Kennedale, all Board of Adjustment
(BOA) members shall automatically serve as members of the Building Board of Appeals (BBA).
The City maintains three separate entity boards, which serve as advisory to City Council, but are separate legal
entities from the City of Kennedale. These boards each oversee an independent affiliate organization:
