AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON REPEALING ARTICLE III, "HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE," OF CHAPTER 14 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF DENTON,
TEXAS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, there are two committees currently advising the City Council on program
development and funding regarding community services: the Community Development Advisory
Committee ("CDAC"), created September 19, 1978 by resolution, and the Human Services
Committee, sometimes referred to as the Human Services Advisory Committee, (''HSAC"),
codified August 18th, 1989 by Ordinance No. 1989-098 and currently set forth in Article III,
"Human Services Committee," of Chapter 14 of the Code of the City of Denton, Texas (the
"Code"); and
WHEREAS, originally the missions of the CDAC and HSAC were distinct; however, in
recent years their missions are strategically more similar than different in purpose and the
separation of their activities into two committees causes procedural barriers and duplication of
efforts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council fmds that it is in the public interest to abolish the CDAC by
separate resolution and to repeal Article III, "Human Services Committee," of Chapter 14 of the
Code by separate ordinance and further finds that it would promote improved communication,
effectiveness and results to create by separate resolution a new committee to advise the City
Council regarding a community-wide response to meet prioritized community needs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is in the public interest to repeal Article III,
"Human Services Committee," of Chapter 14 of the Code and Ordinance No. 1989-098 in
anticipation of creating a new advisory committee; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON HEREBY ORDAINS:
