Title
Consider a memorandum/resolution appointing Councilmember Segarra to the CTCOG Executive Committee.
Summary
DATE: January 3, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kent Cagle, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment of Councilmember Segarra to CTCOG Executive Committee
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The CTCOG Executive Committee meets to discuss regional issues and conduct agency business. The member committee, which largely consists of city and county elected officials, provides direction to the CTCOG staff on program implementation, budgets, contracts, and general policies and procedures for managing the agency.

This year, due to retirements and elections, the Committee has three vacancies. One of those vacancies was created when former Mayor Jose Segarra resigned to run for City Council.
The City of Killeen has one position on the Executive Committee currently filled by Mayor Nash-King. A provision in the CTCOG bylaws allows any entity that fills an Officer position to keep their current position as well as fill the vacant Officer position.
Since Mayor Segarra was previously an Officer, the Nominating Committee would like to offer the vacant position to him to return to the slate of Officers. This would have the effect of doubling the City of Killeen's representation. This would allow Councilmember Segarra to progress through the officer ranks while the Mayor gets acquainted with CTCOG. When Councilmember Segarra leaves the Officer Board, the Mayor would be nominated to the slate of officers, keeping the double representation intact for the foreseeable future.
