Council appoints initial Crime Control and Prevention District directors and delegates board membership
Summary
Following voter approval of the district, council moved to appoint seven directors to the new Crime Control and Prevention District board and agreed that willing council members would serve, with one councilmember substituting his slot for a staff member (Jessica).
Council considered Resolution R‑40‑54 to appoint seven directors to the newly formed Crime Control and Prevention District board, created by voter approval and ordinance. Staff reviewed statutory requirements under Texas Local Government Code chapter 363, including staggered terms, bond requirements (each appointed director must execute a $5,000 bond payable to the district) and the requirement to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget before June 23, 2026.
Council discussed options for appointing the board and whether council members might serve; after a short exchange, the council agreed to appoint willing members present and to substitute Jessica in place of Councilmember Hector for one spot. A motion to appoint the initial board members carried unanimously.
