BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City of New Braunfels currently has 31 boards and commissions.   Each board and commission have term dates, term lengths, and requirements for eligibility unique to the creating ordinance, state law or by-laws of the body. On August 23, 2021 Council passed an ordinance (which is attached) to align all terms for city board and commission appointments to begin December 1 or June 1 with appointments to fill vacancies with unexpired terms to be made at any time.  The Heritage Commission has 3 seats that will expire March 11, 2022.  They are as follows:

 

Glenn Griffin

Martha McLaurin

Colette Nies

 

These three seats will remain in place through May 31, 2022.  Our online portal for boards and commissions, OnBoard, will open up the application for the Heritage Commission late February or early March.
