Allen council confirms Steven Terrell as city director to North Texas Municipal Water District

The Allen City Council voted to confirm Mayor Brooks’ nomination of Steven Terrell as the City of Allen’s director on the North Texas Municipal Water District board for a two‑year term beginning June 1, 2025.

Council members emphasized the continuity of representation and publicly thanked outgoing director James Kerr, whose term expired May 30, 2025 after 27 years of service representing Allen on the water district board.

Councilmembers offered direct praise for Kerr’s long service to the city and the regional water system. Several speakers noted Kerr’s role in long‑running projects and described his tenure as a significant contribution to both the North Texas Municipal Water District and the City of Allen. The council said it will invite Kerr back to a future meeting for a formal recognition.

The motion to confirm Terrell was made and seconded on the record; the council chair instructed members to cast their votes and announced the motion passed. The transcript records the adoption of the appointment but does not include a roll‑call tally or individual vote recordings. The motion names Steven Terrell as the city’s director to the North Texas Municipal Water District for a two‑year term effective 06/01/2025 through May 2027.

No comments from the appointee were recorded in the meeting transcript. The council’s remarks framed the appointment as part of routine city representation on the regional water board and as recognition of the outgoing director’s long service.

The record indicates the city will follow its usual ceremonial practice by scheduling a later meeting to honor Kerr’s service.
