RE: North Texas Groundwater Conservation District Board Representation
Dear Mayor Pike,
The legislation creating the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District ("District") in 2009 contains
a provision for three (3) representatives to be appointed to the District Board of Directors by the Collin
County Commissioners Court. The provisions in the enabling legislation provide that one (1) of these
positions is to be filled by a slate of not more than three (3) nominees provided to the Commissioners
Court by the largest water producer in Collin County, which is the City of Anna. It is my understanding
that the City of Anna has provided one (1) name to the Commissioners Court in the past for
appointment to the District Board, but I include the information about nominating up to three (3)
people for final selection by the Commissioners Court so that you are aware of the City's options under
the District's enabling legislation.
As you are aware, Mr. Phillip Sanders is currently filling the appointment. Mr. Sanders has submitted his
resignation to the Board of Directors, which will be considered and likely accepted at the January 9,
2018, Board Meeting. At that time, the position will then become vacant. The appointment needed to
fill the vacancy will serve the remaining term for the position, through June 1, 2019.
A general requirement to serve as a Board Member nominated by the City of Anna is that the nominee
be a registered voter in Collin County. Another consideration in choosing a nominee is whether the
person serves on the governing board of another governmental entity. If a potential nominee does
currently hold another office, we would need to confirm that there are no dual office holding issues with
that person holding both offices prior to the appointment being made.
I would like to request that you place this item on a City Council agenda in the near future to provide the
nomination(s) to the Collin County Commissioners Court for selection to the North Texas Groundwater
Conservation District Board of Directors. Please feel free to contact me at 855-426-4433 if you have any
questions.
