Sec. 2.36.010. Duties of members.
A. Commission, committee, and board members (hereinafter referred to as "Members") will represent
unconflicted loyalty to the interests of the residents of Georgetown. This accountability supersedes any
conflicting loyalty such as that to advocacy or interest groups and membership on other boards or staffs. This
accountability supersedes the personal interest of any Board Member acting as an individual.
B. Unless otherwise specified by federal law, state law, the City Charter, or other provisions of this Code of
Ordinances, committees, commissions, and boards are responsible to and shall act as an advisory body to the
Council and shall perform such duties and exercise such additional powers as may be described by
ordinances and the Local Government Code not inconsistent with the provisions of the City Charter
Committees, commissions, and boards play a unique and important role in this advisory capacity, assisting
the Council to carry out its responsibilities for making the decisions which shape City policy.
C. Each Member is responsible to attend meetings prepared to discuss the issues on the agenda.
D. Attendance by Members is integral to success of the commission, committee or board. It is Council policy to
require a minimum of 75 percent attendance of each Member at each regularly scheduled meeting including
subcommittee meetings. A Member shall be allowed two excused absences for the Member's personal
medical care, required medical care of a Member's immediate family member (as defined by City Ordinance),
or Member's military service that shall not count against the 75 percent attendance requirement. Written
notice shall be sent to a Member and the Member's City Council representative when it appears the Member
may violate the attendance policy by being absent from more than 25 percent of regularly scheduled
meetings, including subcommittee meetings. Excessive absenteeism may result in the Member being
replaced by the Council. If a Member is removed from a committee, commission or board, that position shall
be considered vacant and a new Member shall be appointed to the Board in accordance with Section
2.36.040.
E. Committees, commissions, and boards, and their Members, shall comply with applicable City ordinances,
rules and policies.
F. Members shall act and conduct themselves in a manner which will promote trust in their integrity,
impartiality, and their devotion to the best interests of the City. During meetings, Members shall preserve
order and decorum and shall conduct themselves in a manner which will not, either by conversation or
activity, delay or interrupt the proceedings. Members shall not indulge in personalities, use offensive
language, arraign the motives of other Members, charge deliberate misrepresentation, or use language
tending to hold any Members, Council Members, the public, or the staff, in contempt. Members will comply
with the directions of the presiding office.
G. Each Member shall vote on all agenda items, except on matters involving a conflict of interest, substantial
financial interest or substantial economic interest under state law, the City's Ethics Ordinance (Chapter 2.20,
Code of Ordinances), or other applicable Laws, Rules and Policies. In such instances the Member shall make
the required disclosures and shall refrain from participating in both the discussion and vote on the matter.
The Member may remain at the dais or leave the dais, at the Member's option, while the matter is being
considered and voted on by the other Board Members. Unless otherwise provided by law, if a quorum is
present, an agenda item must be approved by a majority of the Board Members present at the meeting.
H. Members are encouraged to be active in discussions and activities of the commission, committee or board,
seeking to be innovative, creative, and freely sharing the skills and knowledge which prompted their
appointment.
I. Communication between the Council and the committees, commissions and boards is important to fulfilling
their purpose. Committees, commissions and boards shall meet with City Council, as requested, to determine

how to best serve and assist City Council. City Council shall hear reports from the committees, commissions
and boards at regularly scheduled Council meetings.
J. Unless otherwise required by law, committees, commissions, and boards shall meet once a month. Meetings
will be conducted in accordance with the bylaws of the committee, commission or board, and City Council
Meeting Rules and Procedures (Chapter 2.24, Code of Ordinances), as applicable. A quorum shall consist of a
majority of the Members and is required for the committee, commission or board to convene a meeting and
to conduct business at a meeting. Committee, commission and board meetings shall be noticed, conducted
and recorded in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act.
K. Committees, commissions, and boards, and their Members, have no authority to expend funds or make
obligations on behalf of the City unless authorized and approved by City Council.
L. Members shall serve without compensation, but may be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred by
them in the performance of their duties as Members when authorized by their respective committee,
commission or board and the City Council.
