Council fills several DART seats after a tied nomination; one nomination initially fails 4–4
Summary
Council voted on multiple Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) appointments: a tied 4–4 vote failed for one nominee (David Moorhead), then Mark Enoch was approved 6–2 for a shared seat and Jeff Bass was approved for a full seat; one abstention was recorded on several votes (Carissa Dutton).
During item 10, council opened nominations for Garland's shared and full seats on the Dallas Area Rapid Transit board. The nomination of David Moorhead for the shared seat resulted in a 4–4 tie and failed for lack of a majority. A council member noted, "And that item is tied 4 to 4," and the chair confirmed the motion failed for lack of majority.
Council then took up other nominations: Mark Enoch's nomination for the shared seat passed 6–2 with one abstention, and the full seat nomination of Jeff Bass passed with eight yes votes and one abstention recorded. Council congratulated the appointees and staff thanked all applicants who expressed interest in serving on the regional board.
The votes were recorded on the council's voting display; several members abstained on multiple appointments (Carissa Dutton). Staff will notify DART of the city's appointees per standard procedure.
