The City of Bandera has hired Teri Dollar as its new code compliance officer, filling a position that has been vacant since the termination of former code enforcement officer Jon Davis earlier this year.
Davis's dismissal became the subject of public scrutiny during a June City Council meeting, when members of his family disputed the circumstances surrounding his termination and challenged claims regarding his state certifications.
City Administrator Toni Kunz announced Dollar's hiring Thursday, describing her as a licensed code enforcement professional with extensive experience.
"We're excited to welcome Teri Dollar to the City of Bandera team," Kunz said in a statement. "Teri is currently licensed by the State of Texas through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and she brings a wealth of experience to the position. We look forward to her knowledge, professionalism and dedication that she will bring as we continue to enhance our community awareness, outreach and service."
Dollar, a Texas native, said she has spent decades working in law enforcement, county government and municipal planning and development.
"I was born and raised in Texas and I love Bandera," Dollar said. "After working in law enforcement and county government for a couple of decades, I found a career in municipal planning and development, specifically code enforcement. I currently have my Code Enforcement and Property Maintenance Inspector licenses. I look forward to our new vision of Code Compliance and working with our citizens to keep Bandera the unique city that was founded to be."
