BACKGROUND
The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board was structured by the Texas Legislature in 1993. Membership is allocated among member cities according to population, with recalculations after every United States (US) census.
On August 23, 2011, the DART Board approved reallocation of the Board based on the 2010 US Census data. As a result, the City of Dallas is now entitled to 5 full members and 1 shared member with the City of Cockrell Hill whose terms expire on odd-numbered years and 2 members whose terms expire in even-numbered years.
This action provides for an individual to be appointed to vacant Position 04, with the new appointment term to become effective as soon as a successor is duly appointed and expire June 30, 2023.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On August 3, 2021, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee interviewed nominees and selected a nominee to recommend to the City Council for appointment.
FISCAL INFORMATION
No cost consideration to the City.
