Senior Advisory Board to seek vote on moving monthly meeting to first Thursday
Summary
Board members discussed moving the Senior Advisory Board’s regular meeting from the second Thursday to the first Thursday and agreed to place a formal vote on the Oct. 9 agenda for an effective start in November.
The Farmers Branch Senior Advisory Board discussed changing its regular monthly meeting from the second Thursday to the first Thursday and directed staff to place a formal vote on the board’s Oct. 9 agenda.
Board members raised the issue because a long-serving volunteer, who helps with several center programs, cannot attend on the second Thursday. Jackie, staff member, said the change must be placed on a future agenda and formally approved before it can take effect.
Members considered alternatives (first, fourth or third Thursday) and discussed calendar conflicts: adopting the fourth Thursday would create Thanksgiving- and Christmas-week conflicts in November and December; adopting the first Thursday would put meetings on Nov. 6 and Dec. 4. The board agreed to propose the first-Thursday option and to vote on it at the Oct. 9 meeting, with any approved change to be reported to the city secretary for scheduling updates.
No formal schedule change was voted at the Sept. 11 meeting; the action agreed was to bring a motion for consideration and vote on Oct. 9. Staff said the board’s standing schedule and published calendar must be updated after a vote.
