Deliberate and act on RESOLUTION NO. 2009-054: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS, APPOINTING MEMBERS TO THE PARIS/LAMAR COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH. City Council reappointed Dr. David Carpenter, Mrs. Denise Williams, Mr. Larry Reaves, Dr. Gordon Strom, Dr. Robert Moseley, and appointed Brady Fisher to serve on the Board. 21. Deliberate on board appointments made to the PEDC and the policies and procedures for standing boards, commiss'rons, and committees. Mayor Freelen referenced Resolution No. 2008-053, in which board members were reappointed at the request of PEDC Director Kampfer, because of a major economic development project that was already in progess at the time. Mayor Freelen said that one of the goals of adopting a new committee appointment process in 2008, was to provide the opportunity for people who had not previously served on the board and commissions to do so. Mayor Freelen also said that at that time PEDC was to amend their bylaws to adopt the new policies and procedures, but they had not yet done so. Mayor Freelen stated that two new members had been appointed pursuant to the policies and procedures and asked that PEDC amend their bylaws. Pete Kampfer said the new members would be sworn in at the June meeting. 22. Deliberate and act on appointment of City Council Members to serve as liaisons on city boards, committees, and commissions. Mayor Freelen said the role of the council liaison was to be an observer at the committee and provide background information to the City Council when a committee issue goes before the Council. He also said that Council liaisons were not suppose to take active roles in their committees, so that they would not have an unfair advantage over other Council Members. Mayor Freelen asked each Council Member to select a committee to serve as liaison. Council Member Pickle selected the Airport Board; Council Member Brown selected Building and Standards; Council Member Biard selected Main Street and Council Member Rogers selected Planning and Zoning. lt was a consensus of Council to complete the process at the next meeting, allowing Council Member McCarthy to select a committee and then each Council Meinber would select an additional committee. At the June g'n meeting, Ark-Tex Council Of Governments and the Visitors and Convention Council will be added to the list for selections. 23.
