City Council Work Session - 2026/11/03

The Nacogdoches City Council work session, titled November 3, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated November 4), focused on appointments to boards and commissions and possible updates to their application and governance procedures. Council members identified John Mosley for a Building Standards Commission vacancy, supported previously discussed Zoning Board of Adjustment selections, and discussed Housing Authority appointments, including a recommended resident representative, Charlina Anthony. These were work-session discussions; no formal action was taken, consistent with the meeting’s stated rules.

Council discussed eligibility and residency expectations, clearer application requirements and verification, distinguishing advisory boards from quasi-judicial boards, quorum rules, board size, and whether to consolidate appointments into one annual cycle. Staff was asked to bring back potential handbook and ordinance changes, confirm the statutory requirement for public-housing participants on the Housing Authority, and explore sunsetting the inactive Health Code Advisory Committee while seeking its members’ input. Parks and recreation projects and a restroom vendor were mentioned as examples of advisory-board input, but no procurement decision, contract award, budget allocation, or purchasing action was identified.
