Board unable to vote on habitat and angler access grant letter due to conflict of interest; city staff to seek council recommendation
The Parks and Recreation Board did not vote on a request for a letter of support for the city’s application to the Habitat and Angler Access Program because the board lacked a quorum of eligible voters for that item. Leslie, the parks staff liaison, said the board has seven members but needs four eligible voters for a quorum on the item; one board member who works for Texas Parks and Wildlife is assisting with the grant application and therefore was ineligible to vote on it.

Because of the eligibility issue, staff said the board could not act and that Leslie would instead forward the request to the Abilene City Council for a letter of recommendation. Leslie said the grant application deadline is the end of the month, making a council-level letter necessary before the next board meeting.

No vote or board action occurred on the item during the meeting.
