Council declines to cast TCAP board votes this cycle
Summary
Council voted unanimously to decline participation in the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power (TCAP) board nomination ballot this cycle, noting the city's limited influence and prioritizing staff time elsewhere.
Council considered a resolution to complete a TCAP nomination ballot and ultimately voted 7–0 to abstain from submitting votes this cycle. Kate Moriarty presented background and clarified the ballot structure; council noted this is the city's second election cycle with TCAP and that participation is optional.
One council member asked whether abstaining would forfeit influence; staff said the city’s low‑consumption designation gives limited direct weighting on some seats and that the ballot is not critical for the city's near‑term interests. Council agreed to refrain from casting votes this year and to re‑evaluate the city's participation in future cycles if priorities change.
