The Texas Municipal League (TML) has a membership of 1,150 cities and exists solely to provide services to Texas cities. TML is an effective organization for Texas municipalities, both large and small, with regard to advocating positions on pending legislation to members of both the Texas Legislature and Congress. TML sponsors conferences and educational events and publishes informational materials to keep members apprised of current issues affecting municipal government.
The City of Houston is entitled to representation on the TML Board of Directors. The position has most recently been held by Vice Mayor Pro Tem Castex-Tatum. Vice Mayor Pro Tem Castex-Tatum has now vacated the position of TML President and moved to the role of Past President, which creates a vacancy of the Board.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution appointing Council Member Sallie Alcorn to the Texas Municipal League Board of Directors.
FISCAL NOTE: There is no impact to the fiscal budget or no additional spending authority. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
