Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a document approving the City of Leander's application for membership in the Williamson County & Cities Health District.
Body
A joint meeting was held in September of 2013 between the Board of Health and Williamson County Commissioners regarding the approval of the City of Leander's membership request in the Williamson County & Cities Health District. The City Council of the City of Leander approved becoming a Member Government on September 19, 2013. The Williamson County & Cities Health District Cooperative Agreement states: "Williamson County and any incorporated City may apply to become a member of the District. The governing body of each current Member Government shall review the application. The governmental entity may be admitted as a new Member Government if a majority of the governing body of each current Member Government approves the application."
As such, each Member Government is required to submit a confirmation of approval for the City of Leander's membership to the Williamson County & Cities Health District. Once the approvals of all current Member Governments are received, the Cooperative Agreement will be amended.
Currently, there are seven member Governments with the Williamson County & Cities Health District. They include: Cedar Park, Georgetown, Hutto, Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, and Taylor.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
