Bandera’s Economic Development Corp. board has struggled to maintain a consistent meeting schedule since January due to a lack of quorum and two vacancies, according to a city official.
“There are not enough board members to have a meeting,” EDC Secretary Lynn Palmer said. “It’s a lack of quorum.”
City Council member Jeff Flowers assisted the EDC by filling a vacancy until the term expired earlier this year.
“I believe that the term is up and new appointments are going to be made,” Flowers said. “That would be based on applicants submitted.”
Flowers also clarified that he will not pursue an open position on the EDC.
The following meetings have been canceled, and their agendas are included below.
