Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance appointing one member of the Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District of the City of Deer Park.
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 term of Greg Bridges expired effective September 30, 2019. Mr. Bridges has indicated that he wishes to no longer serve on the Board. 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, Councilmember Garrison’s appointment to Position 1 (currently held by Greg Bridges) is Joe Reynolds.
