Policy committee recommends Rules of Procedure package to Council after attorney review
Summary
On May 11, 2026, the Town of University Park Policy, Rules & Municipal Structure Committee reviewed draft Rules of Procedure (with Town Attorney comments noting some items may require charter amendments) and voted 4-0 to recommend the package to the full Council.
The Town of University Park Policy, Rules & Municipal Structure Committee voted unanimously May 11 to recommend a draft Rules of Procedure package to the full Town Council.
Committee members reviewed the draft alongside written comments from the Town Attorney, and members acknowledged that several proposed rules may require amendments to the town charter before they could take effect. Councilmember Ralph Dubayah moved that the Committee recommend the draft Rules package to the Council for approval; Councilmember Casey Kelby seconded, and the motion passed 4-0.
The Committee confirmed changes that had been made at its previous meeting and recorded the recommendation as its formal action on the item. Committee membership recorded in the meeting minutes included Grant Godfrey (Chair), Cynthia Mowery (attending by Zoom), Casey Kelby, and Ralph Dubayah. The recommendation now moves to the full Town Council for consideration, where any rule language that depends on charter text would require separate charter amendment steps before implementation.
Next steps: the Council will receive the Committee's recommendation; any charter amendments implied by the draft rules will need to be considered through the council's normal amendment process.
