Municipal Leadership Institute (MLI)

The MLI provides an orientation to all newly appointed board and commission members. The online MLI training covers:

• Course 1: Boards & Commission Rules/Authorization (7 minutes)
• Course 2: Running Effective Meetings/Parliamentary Procedures (17 minutes)
• Course 3: Ethics (12 minutes)
• Course 4: Texas Public Information Act (11 minutes)
• Course 5: Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA) (9 minutes)
• Course 6: Liability (8 minutes)

After watching the videos, board and commission members will take a short quiz. Failure to complete the MLI training will result in removal from the Board. Members are only required to take the training once during their appointment. 

Board liaisons are also required to attend regular meetings with the Office of the City Clerk and take additional trainings.

Financial Disclosure Reports

Board and commission members are required to file FDR Reports by March 31st of each year. Failure to comply will result in removal from office and one-year prohibition from serving in accordance with the City Ethics Code section 2-73.
