Chairman Payton announced that the meeting day of the second Monday of
each month would not be possible due to a schedule conflict of the City
Attorney. After discussion, Neal Adams moved to hold Charter Review
Committee meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7:00 - 9:00
p.m. and at other times as called by the Chairman. The motion was
seconded by Glenn Walker and carried by unanimous vote. Chairman Payton
will clear this meeting date and time with the attorneys.
Mr. Payton requested all members read through the City of Euless charter
by the next meeting date. He reported that he and Neal Adams had met
with the City Council and the Council asked them to move forward with the
recommendation of those issues that need to be revised due to conflict
with State law and to review any other issues that would be related
thereto.
Charters from the cities of Arlington, Bedford, Hurst, Haltom City,
McKinney, Irving, Grapevine and North Richland Hills were distributed to
various committee members for their review. Mr. Payton then briefly
reviewed the Euless charter page by page to point out the types of
discrepancies the committee will need to be considering. The Chairman
requested the committee members be prepared to discuss Articles I and II
in detail at the next meeting. Mr. Payton reported that information had
been obtained from the Texas Municipal League on the alternate forms of
government available to Home Rule cities.
The committee decided that 6 persons would constitute a quorum of their
membership for the purpose of holding a meeting and that the majority of
those present would be necessary to carry a vote. The Chairman, with the
assistance of the attorneys present, will rule on matters of legal issues
that arise.
Neal Adams moved to adjourn. The motion was seconded by Bill Pasteur and
carried by unanimous vote. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
