TMPA has notified the City that the term of one of its appointees to their Board of Directors will
be expiring on July 18, 2023. TMPA is requesting that the City take formal action to reappoint
the current appointee or select a new appointee.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton, as a member of TMPA, holds two seats on the TMPA Board of Directors.
The term of the expiring seat will end on July 18, 2023 and is currently held by Mr. Jesse Davis.
Mr. Davis is a former member of the Denton City Council. The other seat on TMPA is held by
Mr. Billy Cheek, who currently serves on the City’s Public Utilities Board, and his term on the
TMPA Board will expire on July 18, 2024. Staff reached out to Mr. Davis regarding his expiring
term, and he expressed interest in continuing to serve on the TMPA Board of Directors. Mr. Davis
has represented the City of Denton on the TMPA Board since 2021. Membership on the TMPA
Board of Directors must be approved by the City Council and may, but need not necessarily be,
members of the City Council and/or the Public Utilities Board.
Per its governance requirement, TMPA is requesting that the City adopt a resolution appointing a
representative to fill the term from July 18, 2023, to July 18, 2025. Staff is planning to place an
item for individual consideration on Council’s June 27th agenda to consider approval of a
resolution for this appointment. If Council Members wish to reappoint Mr. Davis or consider other
nominees, please let me know no later than Monday, June 12th so staff may compile a listing and
other background information to include in the agenda packet for Council’s consideration.
