Staff said the 11-passenger van does not require a commercial driver’s license; the department is seeking a non-CDL driver with a clean driving record or exploring seasonal staffing options. \"We do have an 11 passenger van ... that has been added to our fleet,\" a staff member said, and added that with a van the city \"doesn't have to have a, CDL driver.\"

Staff said the city is evaluating budget and schedule options during the slower season to determine whether it can expand afternoon and trip offerings. Commissioners asked whether the 11-passenger capacity includes the driver; staff confirmed the vehicle seats 11 passengers plus the driver (12 people total on board). No formal action was taken; staff said they will continue recruiting and return with updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senior Citizens Commission Aug 04, 2025 ","oneSentenceSummary","Parks and recreation staff said the city added an 11-passenger van to its fleet and is advertising for an additional driver; the van does not require a commercial driver's license but staff said budget and scheduling will determine use of a second vehicle.","taxTitle","Angleton, Brazoria County, Texas","taxId",64473,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6011039,"City of Angleton staff proposes code of conduct and three-step discipline for Silver Heart senior program",747,2208000,2955000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5806691-e092ae04536059c6a5449d14f6e8eec8&start=2208&end=2955","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5806691-e092ae04536059c6a5449d14f6e8eec8/thumbnail_2208000.jpg","/articles/6011039/Angleton/Brazoria-County/Texas/City-of-Angleton-staff-proposes-code-of-conduct-and-three-step-discipline-for-Silver-Heart-senior-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6011039-7a95d2e93bad77a4400302ae0380d231/orig.mp4?Expires=1775262894&Signature=L0yt-2eIWj6DqEjVHD4AtyaMxs4LLf2SMKnuLlRk3Yi7nfObh9fXEE8Pvg-UsBirXxXlR3wP-KkI7rGBrq~2HgQaSffreW6Ex6PoR4kAVfF~Rsc3N4UE~osadvTLjG0fCDE5z-z~E3DE-NCnCjl258u0jdO6Zt-f4JgJo3Q7cHOgJcTsfH2YP6PIEH1h5kcIje5P1uEraA7300p89RnIovvysqhlzWLiNA91J9EISLsL3FYgwIxdWdpH4YVjBU-nQKQdCoDs9FoR9gFGcrEQ0ujFhwYrN1L0VEGwr9piwhf9WhMDq26UfThyC7n3qTJZOt6rlfINr7EkMsaHbhGubw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City of Angleton Parks and Recreation staff presented a draft general rules and code of conduct for the Silver Heart senior program, saying the policy is intended to maintain a “safe, respectful and welcoming environment” as participation grows.

The draft covers participant behavior expectations, trip procedures, and a three-offense disciplinary system. Staff said the program will ask participants to use sealable drink containers on trips and that seating on buses will be first-come, first-served. An ADA lift is available for participants who use wheelchairs, staff said.

The proposed disciplinary steps are: a one-week suspension from Silver Heart programs for a first offense (staff clarified this would not bar a participant from using the facility if they hold a membership for other amenities), a 30-day suspension for a second offense, and revocation of program privileges after a third offense. Staff said the city uses its registration system to record and flag disciplinary actions; “we can put notes on their account through our civic rec system,” a staff member said.

The draft includes an appeal process: a suspended or excluded participant can submit a written appeal to the recreation superintendent, assistant director or director within 10 days of notice. Staff said they plan to require written acknowledgement of the rules when participants register for Silver Heart programs and are considering whether that acknowledgement will be annual or tied to each program quarter.

Staff said they aim to roll the code of conduct out with the next quarter of programs; commissioners raised clarity questions about trip procedures, drink containers and how suspensions would be monitored. No formal action was taken on the draft; staff requested feedback from commissioners.","Parks and recreation staff presented a proposed code of conduct, trip procedures and a three-tier disciplinary system for the Silver Heart senior program; staff said they plan to roll the policy out with the next program quarter and will require written acknowledgement from participants.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6011044,"Angleton seniors commission reviews proposed changes to founding resolution on membership, terms and attendance",1498,107000,1605000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5806691-e092ae04536059c6a5449d14f6e8eec8&start=107&end=1605","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5806691-e092ae04536059c6a5449d14f6e8eec8/thumbnail_107000.jpg","/articles/6011044/Angleton/Brazoria-County/Texas/Angleton-seniors-commission-reviews-proposed-changes-to-founding-resolution-on-membership-terms-and-attendance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6011044-014a238c95780a08d1d2be1674faa377/orig.mp4?Expires=1775262894&Signature=S-odCXN3rFxPDQ7JWRm7jbGD1QMcajY6aX84c0NnZnn8jJouRbCLysIk5~5hjRtyidAU3mfWt4JoFYGcmWUnokqyeR0RDW6r92xjMDsoKcL2tkcPOJXAIjHUqRm1VSC9BaxOntSL7U4dQe9VsqywBGyxtZuikTj0BxlTNtkCn701naR8~6B5wpWnIQ6sdb1nJvHvT3t0~iEYgXZvhS5MNr0VtHJJhu7pGWaDsBXkSCSy3q4IgR2GQmUjHL0Dn6YTzppwDdca2zUrLjwOiFD0LTdTopm2mcaaS~E47yp~ITk3-uD9NVrLcAItjj4ASCwqI03KpIGjCK95t6TawAVCbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City of Angleton staff presented proposed amendments to Resolution 2007-R-3A governing the Senior Citizens Commission and asked commissioners for feedback before the package is sent to city council for consideration. The proposed changes would set the commission’s membership at seven residents, require members to be at least 55 years old, and formalize two-year staggered terms.

The changes are intended to align the senior commission with other city advisory boards, staff said. \"We are aligning with other city boards,\" a staff member said during the meeting. Staff described staggered appointments so that four members are appointed in odd-numbered years and three in even-numbered years and said the term length under consideration is two years.

Commissioners discussed two term-limit options. One option would allow members to serve no more than two consecutive terms (four years) with eligibility to be reconsidered after a one-year break. The alternative would allow unlimited consecutive terms provided members reapply and are reappointed by the city council at the end of each term. Staff said the draft presents both options and seeks the commission’s preference.

The proposal also would clarify quorum and vacancy rules. Staff said naming a fixed number of seats makes quorum determinations straightforward; under the draft, vacancies would be filled by city council for the remainder of the unexpired term, with staff notifying the public when a seat is open. The draft includes an attendance provision under which any member absent from three consecutive regular meetings without a valid excuse, as determined by the commission, may be subject to removal.

City council representation on the commission would remain a nonvoting liaison role, staff said. Staff asked commissioners to send further feedback by email if they want more time. No formal vote on the amendments was taken at the meeting; staff will incorporate the commission’s feedback before transmitting the draft to city council.

The meeting opened with a procedural vote to approve the minutes from the commission’s April 7, 2025 meeting. A motion to approve the minutes was made and seconded and the chair said the motion carried.","City staff presented proposed amendments to Resolution 2007-R-3A that would set the Senior Citizens Commission at seven members, require members to be Angleton residents age 55 or older, set two-year staggered terms, and add attendance and vacancy rules; staff asked the commission for feedback before sending the revisions to city council.","actionData","errors"]
