Nacogdoches council unanimously appoints David Shafter to Pineywoods Groundwater board
Summary
The Nacogdoches City Council unanimously approved Resolution 13 99-11-25 on Nov. 4, 2025, appointing David Shafter to represent the city on the Pineywoods Groundwater Conservation District Board; the appointment begins January 2026, the council said.
The Nacogdoches City Council unanimously appointed David Shafter on Nov. 4, 2025, to the Pineywoods Groundwater Conservation District Board of Directors, filling the seat vacated by Jimmy Mize.
Mike New, executive director of development and infrastructure, described the item as a reappointment and said the city is entitled to name one representative to the seven-member Pineywoods board. "The City of Nacogdoches is able to appoint 1 member to the 7 member board," New said and noted that, if appointed that night, the seat would begin in January 2026.
Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to recommend David Shafter for the seat. A council member seconded the motion (the transcript does not clearly identify which member seconded). The presiding speaker called for a vote; members responded "Aye," and the presiding speaker stated the motion carried unanimously. The council identified the matter as "resolution 13 99 dash 11 dash 25" on the agenda.
The council did not record individual vote tallies or roll-call names in the provided transcript. The transcript also states "Individuals are appointed to 3 member terms," a phrasing that is unclear in context; the record supplied does not clarify term length or whether that phrase was a transcription error.
The appointment will begin in January 2026, per staff comment. The council completed the meeting immediately after the vote and offered closing remarks.
