Summary

Council approved the consent agenda, appointed three representatives to the Capital Area Council of Governments general assembly and tabled an appointment to the Economic Development Sales Tax Corporation until the next meeting.

Cedar Park — At its Jan. 9 meeting the City Council approved several routine and administrative items, confirmed representatives to regional governance and tabled one board appointment for a follow-up meeting.

Consent agenda: A motion to approve consent items (D, E and F) passed unanimously.

Type A/CapCOG appointments: Council approved the city’s appointments to the Capital Area Council of Governments (CapCOG) general assembly, naming Council member Hutchison, Council member Jeffs and Council member Harris as the city’s representatives. The motion passed unanimously.

Appointment to Economic Development Sales Tax Corporation (Type A) — item H-1: Council considered appointment of Christian Von Wuppertfeld to the Economic Development Sales Tax Corporation (Type A). The nominee was remote and unable to participate in person; council members noted his biography and expressed support but agreed to allow the applicant to appear in person at the next meeting. Council member Eric moved to table the appointment to the next meeting; the motion was seconded by Council member Harris and passed 7–0.

Why it matters: Appointments and consent approvals set the city’s representation on regional bodies and ensure routine city business continues. Tabling the Type A appointment gives council and the nominee an opportunity for an in-person introduction before confirmation.

Next steps: The Economic Development Sales Tax Corporation appointment (H-1) will be placed on the council’s next agenda for confirmation when the nominee can attend.
