Several members raised concerns about how the draft handles situations with multiple nominations for a single position and how ties would be resolved.

Council Member Kirchow and others said they preferred an approach that would allow separate votes on each nominee rather than a single motion that might allow one nomination to preclude consideration of others. City Attorney Catherine explained the draft provides multiple options and that the resolution is intended to document one procedure the council can choose to follow; she also noted the draft assumes reliance on standard parliamentary procedure for amendment and other mechanics. Council members asked for clearer language covering multiple nominees, majority thresholds, and tie-breaking, and discussed whether the mayor’s tie-breaking role should apply.

After discussion the council directed the city attorney to revise Resolution 2025-848 to reflect the council’s concerns and to return an amended draft for future consideration. The mayor stated a formal motion was not required to send the draft back to counsel for revision.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parker - City Council - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council members discussed Resolution 2025-848, a proposed procedure for council nominations, and asked the city attorney to redraft it to clarify how the council should handle multiple nominations and tie-breaking; council directed the attorney to return a revised draft to the council.","taxTitle","Parker, Collin County, Texas","taxId",69443,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547902,"Parker council sets application process and 06/13 deadline to fill council vacancy",1242,1328000,2570000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647041-63ecbe115e35d4e2a6d8259506a5fa6c&start=1328&end=2570","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647041-63ecbe115e35d4e2a6d8259506a5fa6c/thumbnail_1328000.jpg","/articles/6547902/Parker/Collin-County/Texas/Parker-council-sets-application-process-and-0613-deadline-to-fill-council-vacancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547902-16541516dbc2ec6bd11e361db6dd712f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770950725&Signature=hV5WmuglvwZjVKln18rvxUBp4mQLNXb4LOarHYBnmm~pDYR9pQraIK1VtXIsxJezcSfv-4Oe8NcGK5rRYZkL~Wte4Q44HMLs29vhcc3q0qExVxi~iccugb5E4o5dezzVuGlhw~mPA6HVhldHHtlMRLdbYuHhhPCkcknHsH2zUagZzZHnW6rpsKwUFIG76Za3m6inQ9XOFWcMvDrHuVzFPwQznL98m8Ha8f~Rq1RPSDh2PLJCZ4auD3bihEX4vjyOyyH4uj~yG7-yTUEw0pNZvcmIXmRQS0h~952qRY6t1gLJWBfWWu-6X3cUwH~C~fU-XOU~EYoDBfmkcLSyL2xvAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council Member Randy Kirchow told the council on June 3 that he expects to leave Parker before June 17 and that he has not yet submitted a formal resignation. The council discussed options for filling his seat and adopted a short timetable and application process to select an interim replacement for the unexpired term.

Council directed the City Secretary to post the vacancy on the city website and to accept applications for a period of not less than five business days, with council members amending an initial motion to set the application deadline as 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 13. Council members agreed the list of applicant names should be made public; staff said a separate packet with applicant materials could be distributed to council and posted where appropriate. The council recorded a vote adopting the application process and deadline by voice vote, 5-0.

On a separate motion, the council voted 5-0 to use the same application form required for candidates running for elective office as the city’s application for appointment to the council, and to allow applicants to include an attachment explaining why they wish to be appointed. Council members discussed whether interviews would be public or closed and left that decision to be determined depending on the number of applicants; council noted it may decide on an appointment at the June 17 meeting or defer action to the July 1 meeting if interviews are required.

City staff advised that, if applications are submitted late on Friday the 13th, they could issue a separate packet so council has materials before the meeting; otherwise applications received by the stated deadline would be included in a separate packet distributed to council and to the public. The City Secretary was instructed to publish applicant names in advance of council consideration.

No formal resignation letter from Kirchow had been filed at the June 3 meeting; Kirchow said he would likely leave the city by June 17 and would submit a formal resignation indicating his final date.","Following Council Member Randy Kirchow’s announcement that he expects to leave the city in mid-June, the Parker City Council adopted a process to fill the upcoming vacancy, setting an application deadline of June 13 and agreeing to use the elective-office candidate application (with an added statement of interest) for appointments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6547907,"Parker council accepts donations, makes committee and board appointments, and closes engineering RFQ",306,351000,657000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647041-63ecbe115e35d4e2a6d8259506a5fa6c&start=351&end=657","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647041-63ecbe115e35d4e2a6d8259506a5fa6c/thumbnail_351000.jpg","/articles/6547907/Parker/Collin-County/Texas/Parker-council-accepts-donations-makes-committee-and-board-appointments-and-closes-engineering-RFQ","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6547907-d4d1c1f89c973946fd69bcb3c597baa4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770950725&Signature=Bc5lTClbn7EQ5bOe906gNgW-VMyTrVdcY1xDHZsAJmD~zaLfzBc~QrHmVJ26lg5fQigTA7omMthFOMlf4zFuQEfbLYoga8ESSIOBR8fLl4fm102HcIWRhuERVSYAg-eeqwN7egxS80ESiJatUi2uxySNna08digKNPkYabJJtY3gg0-HhjsJyI2VMRZ0QVT8TGGW0OGq-vgzSyRGrn2LED9q-AuKEjqdhYjaqpeLDcHtBDiISu25bVW7sw1Il2VljJXbWksUZO00X9r2-vHPJX1gPLuXLUUz9zcIWg647dlT76IhET4Now3r9TzUIYe7EiNSdBZA2VWTWltpYkCt4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Parker City Council on June 3 voted unanimously on several routine and administrative items, including accepting donations from the Parker Women’s Club, appointing members to the city’s investment committee, naming an alternate to the zoning board of adjustment, and discontinuing an open engineering RFQ process.

The council accepted three donations from the Parker Women’s Club totaling $2,689 to support public safety and parks: $1,365 for five armor vests for the police department, $724 for an office printer and chairs for the fire department, and $600 allocated to Parks and Recreation for Parker Fest. The motion to accept the donations passed 5-0 after a motion and second; the mayor said staff would ensure the checks were delivered.

Council then approved Resolution 2025-847 to appoint two council members to the city’s investment committee for the 2025–26 term. Daryl Sharp and Mayor Pro Tem Buddy Pilgrim were appointed; the council confirmed both appointments by voice vote 5-0. Council members were told each appointee must take the required 10-hour public finance course within the first 12 months of service.

On a separate appointment, Susan Medrano was appointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment as Alternate No. 2 by a 5-0 vote.

The council also voted 5-0 to discontinue review of an open engineering request-for-qualifications (RFQ) process that had produced 29 responses and had been outstanding for more than a year. The council directed staff to notify all firms that applied and to forward the submissions to the city’s municipal engineer so the municipal engineer would have them as a resource if needed.

All motions noted above were adopted by a 5-0 vote where a tally was recorded. No formal dissenting votes or abstentions were recorded on the items listed in this summary.","At its June 3 meeting the Parker City Council unanimously accepted donations from the Parker Women’s Club, appointed council members to the investment committee and a resident to the zoning board of adjustment, and voted to discontinue the city engineering RFQ process and forward responses to the municipal engineer.","actionData","errors"]
