BOARD/COMMISSION
Boards & Commissions
One way for the City of Schertz citizens to actively participate
in local government is to become involved as a member
of a board or commission. All members of these active
groups are volunteers whose charge it is to make decisions
and advise the city council on several issues from expenditure
of public funds to zoning questions. The city charter
and ordinances authenticate the existence of each board
or commission and establishes them as legal arms of city
government. All board or commission members are residents
who, after filling out an Application form (you can click
and it takes you to a form they can fill out) or (Create
an online version here), are appointed by council members
and/or the mayor. Most boards or commissions meet on
a monthly basis and members are expected to attend all
meetings unless specific circumstances arise. Members
who miss three (3) meetings in a one-year period may
be asked to resign.
Qualifications for Appointment
The City of Schertz City Code of Ordinances establishes
that persons who have resided in the City for at least
twelve (12) months shall be considered for appointment
to City boards and commissions unless otherwise provided
in the Code.
Selection Process
Nominations to boards and commissions, unless otherwise
provided by the Charter or the Code of Ordinances, shall
be made by the Council members. The City Council shall
confirm nominations for appointment to the board or commission
in order for an appointment to be effective. Nominations
are made as vacant positions need to be filled.
