AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: City Secretary’s Office
CM: Cassey Ogden
DATE: August 4, 2026
SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution of the City of Denton appointing one member to the Denton County
Housing and Homelessness Leadership Team; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The appointment of City Council Members to internal Council Committees and to other internal and
external committees and boards occurs during the summer following each municipal election cycle. Internal
Council Committees consist only of Denton City Council Members. City Council Members also serve on
other internal committees and boards that include resident participation, and on external boards operating
at the regional or county level.
To account for changes in City Council membership resulting from elections, these assignments are
reviewed annually to determine any needed adjustments to existing member assignments as well as afford
members the opportunity to identify any new or additional committees they may be interested in serving
on.
Through Internal Staff Report No. 2026-040, Council Members were asked to identify and submit
committees of interest to the City Secretary’s Office by Friday, July 10, 2026.
Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team
The Denton County Housing and Homelessness Leadership Team (DCHHLT) is composed of seventeen to
thirty-eight members, including one to two appointees from the City of Denton. Per the DCHHLT bylaws,
“Cities/Towns should identify a council member, senior staff, executive, or community member” to serve
on the team. The team shall have one to two appointees from Law Enforcement. A member of city staff
serves as an ex officio member. Appointees shall serve at least one two-year term and attend six meetings
in the calendar year. The purpose of the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team is to convene as a
policy-making team tasked with improving the planning, coordination, oversight, and implementation
required to create systems change for housing/homelessness initiatives in Denton County.
The July 14 Work Session resulted in one nomination for one open seat.
