Boards and Committees

The volunteers who shape downtown, land use and history

Appointed boards decide on downtown grants, zoning, variances, historic properties, cemeteries and public housing. Most meet with little public attention. Each board below uses the same fields, so gaps in the public record are easy to see.

Who appoints
City leaders appoint the members of each of these boards.
Where records are
Agendas for five of the six boards are in the city’s Agenda Center. The Housing Authority is not.
What the law requires
Texas Government Code 551 requires minutes kept and available on request. Posting them online is not required, but it is the easy fix.
How we cover it
A voting guide before meetings with money on the agenda and a recap after.

What we are watching

Next steps
  • Main Street grants. Amounts stated in each motion, a written grant policy, and approved minutes posted with the agendas.
  • Historic design review. Whether downtown projects funded with grants have the required preservation committee approval first.
  • Minutes online. Every board could post approved minutes next to the agenda, the way the Cemetery Board already does.

Rosters are compiled from official public pages as of November 1, 2026. Those pages do not show term dates or when they were last updated, so we confirm each name against current minutes before relying on it. See something out of date? We post corrections openly.
