BOARDS & COMMISSIONS APPLICATIONSERVING ON A BOARD OR COMMISSION

CITY OF WEST LAKE HILLS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

The City of West Lake Hills’ Boards and Commissions are made up of concerned citizens who wish to make a difference in their community by volunteering their time and knowledge. Many of these groups serve as advisory boards, examining issues in depth, such as planning and zoning, and making recommendations to the City Council. Others hear requests from citizens on variances from City ordinances and make decisions on whether they will be allowed. The work these citizens do assists the Council and contributes to the quality of life enjoyed by both residential and corporate citizens.

Each Board or Commission member is selected by the City Council after applications are processed and interviews are completed. Qualifications for serving on a board or commission requires an interest in the specific workings of the Board or commission, and, in some cases, more specific qualifications regarding knowledge or licensing in a specific field. The City encourages all residents to apply.

BUILDING DESIGN COMMITTEE (BDC): Acts as an advisory board to Zoning and Planning Commission which is an advisory board to City Council/Board of Adjustment. BDC reviews all commercial permits (i.e., building permits, sign permits, etc.), commercial variance applications, and may assist any person, group, or agency who requests design advice on matters not requiring formal committee action. Consists of two teams (of three members each) that meet once a month on an alternate basis. One member on each team shall be a member of the City Council and serve as the chair. One member on each team shall be a member of the Zoning and Planning Commission. Members shall serve for a two-year term(?). BDC meets on the first Wednesday of every month (except for December) at 5:30 p.m..

Consists of seven commissioners, those being four residents of the city, and three business owners (or their designated representatives). Nonresidential representatives must own or be an employee of a nonresidential entity located in the City (commercial property owner, non-profit, or governmental). The City Council may appoint one of its members as an ex officio member of the Commission. Each commissioner shall have a three-year term of office. The Transportation Commission shall meet at least four

times each fiscal year (quarterly), and as often as deemed necessary by the chairperson.

WASTEWATER COMMISSION (WWC): Acts as an advisory board to City Council on recommended policies and application of policies for the construction, operation and maintenance of the wastewater system including but not limited to service extensions and new applications, and for water conservation. This responsibility includes establishing priorities for the wastewater system. Policy review may be undertaken by the Commission upon its own initiative, or at the direction of the City Council. Consists of seven commissioners, those being four residents of the City, and three business owners (or designated representatives). All commissioners must be current or potential ratepayers of the wastewater system and registered voters of the State. Four residential representatives on the Commission must be receiving wastewater service at their residence or be on the list of planned residential connections in Phase

2 of the project area and have a signed Customer Service Agreement for their home on file at the City. Nonresidential representatives must own or be an employee of a nonresidential entity located in the City (commercial property owner, non-profit, or governmental) that is either connected to the wastewater system or has a signed Terms Sheet or Customer Service Agreement on file at the City. Continued service on the Commission is conditioned on donation of any required easements and execution and continued compliance with a Customer Service Agreement. Each commissioner shall serve a three-year term of office. The WWC shall meet at least four times each fiscal year (quarterly) and as often as deemed necessary by the Chairperson. Currently the WWC meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m.

The American Association of University Women is a group of degreed individuals which works to ensure that opportunities and access of all kinds remain available to women and girls throughout the country and across the globe. Most people are aware that Title IX transformed athletics across the academic spectrum. Today, largely due to the efforts of groups like the AAUW, more and more women are also receiving equal pay for equal work, achieving the highest positions in business, and are also reaching pinnacle positions in government. Due to AAUW, deserving academic researchers are rewarded for their achievements with annual fellowships.

The Austin branch of AAUW is in the middle of its annual membership drive. The organization does not advertise, so it is important that people learn of this group and the indelible effect it can have on the lives of women. In Austin, AAUW volunteers work in GirlsStart and Mindspring, groups reaching out to girls who need a hand up; they support non-profits like

American Association of University Women Submitted by: Diane Brewer, Membership VP

Ten Thousand Villages on South Congress, which markets the handmade goods of women in Third World Countries. Others are out in the community registering voters or working at voting sites. Membership VP Diane Brewer says that the dues of $75 are divided among the national, state, and local levels of AAUW, and due to the work of the association, all but $3 is tax deductible. For more information, go to: http://austin-tx.aauw.net

Service is only part of the story, however. Interest and study groups pervade the organization offering everything from a common love of reading, stitchery, and art appreciation, to bridge, mah jongg, theatre, and dining.

If you would like to explore the organization further, come to the AAUW-Austin Summer Social, located at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd’s parish hall, Exposition Blvd. @ Windsor Drive on Sunday afternoon, August 19th, at 3 pm. There will be a raffle, food, beverages, and lots of information. Come and see!

As a parent, there’s no doubt that back-to-school season requires a lot of effort to get your kids all set for the challenges of the classroom. But it’s also an important time to consider your child’s health, says Daniel Howard, M.D., a pediatrician with The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC).

“From making sure all of the proper vaccinations have been administered on schedule, to getting their kids back on ‘school year’ sleep schedules, health is obviously a huge consideration for parents with school-age children,” Dr. Howard says.• Vaccinations 101. Children should receive a variety of vaccinations

and booster shots to prevent them from getting many serious and highly contagious diseases.

• Hearing and vision tests. Consider getting your child’s hearing and vision tested before they begin school to prevent learning challenges in the classroom.

• Health information. Parents should be prepared to provide schools with a list of emergency contact information that includes telephone numbers for parents, close family, pediatrician, and dentist.

• Diet and sleep. Healthy eating is a critical part of a child’s physical

and mental development and can help curb the risk of childhood obesity. Sleep is also essential—kids should get between eight to 11 hours per day, depending on their age.

Daniel Howard, M.D., is a pediatrician for The Austin Diagnostic Clinic, a

multi-specialty clinic with physicians representing 21medical specialties at more than six locations throughout Austin and Central Texas. Dr. Howard sees patients at the ADC Cedar Bend, at 2400 Cedar Bend Drive. For more

information, visit www.adclinic.com or call 512-901-4016. To download an electronic version of

TILAPIA & RICEIngredients:• Jasmine Rice, cooked per the package to serve 4• 4 Tilapia fillets, rinsed and dried• 2 T olive oil• 12 oz panko bread crumbs• salt and pepperDirections: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Prepare Jasmine Rice per the package to make 4 servings.   Rinse and dry tilapia fillets and rub each one with olive oil.   Dredge through the panko break crumbs, pushing with your fingers so it sticks.   Add a little extra olive oil onto your pan and place the breaded tilapia on it.   Season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until done.

LEEK AND CILANTRO SALADIngredients:• 2 leeks, green tops discarded, sliced in half, rinsed and

patted dry• 2 bunches cilantro, rinsed and dried• 2 T rice vinegar• 1 T butter• 2 T olive oil• Salt and PepperDirections: Chop off the green tops of the leeks and slice in half, which makes cleaning easier.   Remove all sand and pat dry.   Slice the leeks and add to a saute pan with the 1 T of butter.   Saute until tender, remove from heat and cool.   Meanwhile, pick the clean cilantro leaves off the stems and add to a bowl.   Add the cooled sauted leeks, rice vinegar, olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. To assemble: Start with a bed of jasmine rice, then the baked tilapia and topped with the delicious leek and cilantro salad.   Serves 4.

This is just a yummy dish!   Oven baked tilapia is a good staple.  I breaded mine with panko for a really light and crunchy texture.  But what sets this recipe apart is the leek and cilantro salad on top.   Served over a bed of jasmine

rice, this is the perfect summertime meal.
