Boards and commissions within the city of Southlake will no longer have term limits after the city council voted to update the code of ordinances during its Oct. 6 meeting.

What’s changing: Previously, members were not allowed to serve more than three consecutive two-year terms, according to the city. Under the new ordinance, members can be reappointed to a board after every two-year term.

The change also applies retroactively to previously appointed board and commission members.

Some context: The planning and zoning commission is not affected by the new ordinance as it was exempted from term limits in 2022, according to the city. Term limits were originally set in 2020.
