Trustees authorize board counsel to set procedures, schedule for any nonrenewal hearing
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to authorize board counsel, in consultation with the board president, to impose procedural rules and make scheduling decisions for any nonrenewal hearing related to a personnel matter.
At the May 5 special meeting, Trustee Leo Gonzalez moved "to authorize the Board's Counsel, in consultation with the Board President, to impose procedural rules for any nonrenewal hearing and to make scheduling decisions regarding the any nonrenewal hearing." Trustee Rick Chapa seconded the motion and the board approved it on a roll-call vote: Paul Arriaga Yes; Leo Gonzalez Yes; Rick Chapa Yes; Brian Boone Absent; Kim Boone Yes; Mari Jimenez Yes (5-0).
The board's minute record identifies legal consultation under Texas Government Code Section 551.071 on the closed-session agenda; the procedural authorization gives counsel and the president authority to set hearing procedures and a schedule consistent with board direction. The motion does not record specific procedural rules; it delegates rule-setting authority to counsel in consultation with the president.
