Summary
The Dickinson City Council designated a representative to the Southeast Texas Housing Finance Corporation (SETX); Councilmember Sean Holt volunteered and the council approved the nomination and term to be determined.
The Dickinson City Council designated a representative to the Southeast Texas Housing Finance Corporation (SETX).
Council members discussed whether the city had previously sent a representative and whether the seat had to be held by an elected official. After brief discussion about meeting frequency and term length, Councilmember Sean Holt volunteered to serve and the council approved his designation; council asked staff to relay the term length to the corporation (the council may set a one-, two- or three-year term).
Why it matters: SETX (Southeast Texas Housing Finance Corporation) is a regional entity that participates in housing finance activities; having a designated representative allows the city to engage in housing-finance discussions and trainings. The council did not set a specific term length at the meeting and directed staff to communicate the city’s choice when requested by the corporation.
The item passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
