Staff Comments
Each year the City Secretary's Office solicits and compiles applications from Wylie residents wishing to
serve on various Wylie Boards and Commissions. These applications are received through the year until
the later part of May of each calendar year. Additionally, in May of each year, the applications are
compiled into appointment timeframes to allow the three Council member panel time to interview each
applicant and subsequently choose a list of applicants to recommend to the full Council to serve two year
terms on the various Boards. The terms are staggered so each year approximately half of the members
serving on each board and commission are appointed.
City Secretary Ehrlich reported the meeting dates set for 2016 were Tuesday, May 31st and Wednesday,
June 1st. She noted these two dates would conclude the interviews.
Mayor Hogue asked Mayor pro tem Stephens if he would serve as Chair of the panel; typically the Mayor
pro tern does serve in this capacity. Mayor pro tern Stephens agreed to serve. Mayor Hogue announced
