Title
Discuss and consider action to appoint three representatives to the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) General Assembly.
Summary
The City of Pflugerville is over 50,000 in population and therefore qualifies for three positions on the CAPCOG General Assembly. Currently, Mayor Victor Gonzales, Mayor Pro Tem Omar Peña and Councilmember Mike Heath are appointed to serve on the General Assembly as the City of Pflugerville's representatives. This item has been included on the agenda to allow the City Council to review its representation and take action to change representation if desired.
All General Assembly Representatives are invited to attend CAPCOG's General Assembly Meeting to be held on September 11, 2019.
Only members of the CAPCOG General Assembly can be appointed to the CAPCOG Executive Committee. The appointments to the CAPCOG Executive Committee are made by CAPCOG. Councilmember Heath currently serves on the CAPCOG Executive Committee.
