Council to keep DCTA representatives for now, asks for clearer reporting and a follow-up meeting
City staff reminded council that the terms for the city's Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) representatives expire this week and that the regular agenda includes an appointment action item. Dan Jaworski currently serves as the city's primary representative and Paul Stevens as alternate; Jaworski volunteered not to continue when first selected, but the council has relied on his service.

Councilmembers praised Jaworski's engagement on DCTA matters'"Dan does a good job," a staff member summarized during the discussion'but several members said they want clearer, more timely updates from the representative. Multiple councilmembers asked staff to define the council's formal positions and expectations for whoever serves so the representative can advocate with a unified voice.

Members debated whether to reappoint immediately or hold until the council agrees on formal priorities; staff reminded the body that appointments can be changed later if the representative is not meeting expectations. With Jaworski's term expiring Nov. 12, several councilmembers signaled they were willing to reappoint him and Paul Stevens at the regular meeting but requested a follow-up session to align on objectives and reporting cadence.

Next steps: Council will proceed with the appointment item on the regular agenda while scheduling a follow-up meeting to set expectations for DCTA representation and ask the appointees for regular post-meeting updates to council.
