After weeks of waiting, the mayor finally announced committee assignments for the next two years. The assignments will play a major role in shaping city...
Each committee includes one council member who serves as “chair” and is responsible for leading the committee. The chair appointments often determine which council members have outsized influence over city issues.
Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins and Cara Mendelsohn will each serve as the chair on three separate committees, more than any other council member. “Honored the Mayor appointed me to chair the public safety committee, one of the most important and high profile, and appreciate his trust in me with his prior announcement of appointment to Chair the Ad hoc on Legislative Affairs,” Mendelsohn told The Dallas Morning News. “I am glad to continue leading the work as Chair of the Ad hoc on General Investigating and Ethics, where we have brought forward significant ethics reform and investigated thoroughly the IT data loss of police files.
The Parks, Trails and the Environment Committee will be responsible for leading Dallas “further down the path toward becoming the major city with the best park system in Texas,” Johnson’s memo said.
