Body
Summary:
The State statute (Fire Control, Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District Act) which enables creation of a FCPEMSD also specifies the manner in which appointments to the board of directors are to be made. The 2-year terms of Charlie Johnson, John Green and Eddie Brashier expired effective September 1, 2017. All three members have been contacted and each has indicated willingness to serve another term. Additionally, Greg Bridges was appointed on 10/3/16 to serve the unexpired portion of Don Davis’ two year term. Mr. Bridges has also agreed to serve another term.
Section 344.101(f) of Chapter 344 of the Texas Local Government Code states:
“In a district for which the governing body of the municipality does not serve as the district's board of directors, the governing body may create a board of directors for which one director is appointed by each member of the governing body to serve at the pleasure of that member for a term not to exceed two years and that expires when the member of the governing body that appointed the director leaves office.”
Pursuant to the foregoing statute: Charlie Johnson is appointed by Mayor Mouton, Greg Bridges is appointed by Councilman Garrison, John Green is appointed by Councilman Harrison; and Eddie Brashier is appointed by Councilman Ginn.
