Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance removing a board member of the Deer Park Community Development Corporation and appointing a replacement.
Body
Summary:
The Deer Park Development Corporation is responsible for administering the proceeds of the dedicated Type B economic development sales and use tax for public park purposes and events. While this development corporation has the power to expend the proceeds of the Type B sales tax for purposes authorized by the Development Corporation Act and the voters, City Council retains authority to approve all programs and expenditures of the corporation.
The City Council appoints members of the Deer Park Community Development Corporation. On October 3, 2017, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 3931, thereby appointing Scott Sotelo to Position 3 of the Deer Park Community Development Corporation to a 2-year term while reserving the right to terminate said appointment at Council’s will, with or without good cause. The Texas Local Government Code Section 505.051 states that a director of a Type B corporation is appointed by the governing body of the authorizing municipality for a two-year term and that a director may be removed by the governing body of the authorizing municipality at any time without cause.
The attached ordinance would remove Mr. Sotelo from the board and appoint a replacement.
