Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 12/03/19 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 19-0344
LOG NAME: 14CIVILSERVICECOMMISSION
SUBJECT
Confirm Reappointment and Correct Term Expiration Date of Civil Service Commissioner Jason Baldwin to October 1, 2021 and Establish Place
Designations (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Confirm the reappointment and correct the expiration date of the term held by Jason Baldwin, who was initially appointed on August 14, 2018,
as a Commissioner on the City of Fort Worth Firefighters' and Police Officers' Civil Service Commission; and
2. Establish Place designations for each of the three Members of the Commission.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to Texas Local Government Code section 143.006(b), the Civil Service Commission consists of three members appointed by the City
Manager and confirmed by the City Council. The Commissioners serve staggered three-year terms, so that one term expires each year.
Historically the three positions have not had distinct designations, but it is recommended that each be assigned its own number to assist in
keeping track of appointments and expiration dates among the three.
Place 1
The three-year term that expires October 1, 2020 is currently held by Ricky Torlincasi, who was first appointed on August 25, 2015 (M&C G-18543)
to serve the remainder of a three-year term expiring October 1, 2017. Mr. Torlincasi was reappointed on October 17, 2017 (M&C G-19131). It is
recommended that the City Council designate this Commission term as Place 1.
Place 2
On January 14, 2018, Commissioner David Avila, whose term was to expire October 1, 2018, submitted his resignation due to his relocation out of
the country. On August 14, 2018, the City Manager requested confirmation of the appointment of Jason Baldwin to serve for the remainder of the
unexpired term. M&C G-19339 incorrectly stated that the term was to expire October 2, 2020; this term instead expired October 1, 2018, placing
Mr. Baldwin in a hold -over capacity after that date. It is recommended that the City Council confirm the reappointment of Mr. Baldwin for a three-
year term expiring on October 1, 2021, and designate this Commission term as Place 2.
Place 3
Nommo Z. Donald was first appointed as a member of the Commission on October 18, 2016 (M&C G-18851) to serve a three-year term expiring
on October 1, 2019. Ms. Donald was reappointed on October 29, 2019 for a three-year term expiring on October 1, 2022. It is recommended that
the City Council designate this Commission term as Place 3.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
