A pair of Dallas Area Rapid Transit board members were unanimously reappointed by the Dallas City Council on Wednesday, but three officials urged those representatives to remember who they serve.
“I just want to say, for the record, that it’s good that we’re getting leadership roles in Dallas on this regional entity of a board,” Council Member Adam Bazaldua (District 7) said. “We’ve got some really tough conversations, I think, ahead of us. And I’m hopeful that both Rodney [Schlosser] and Carmen [Garcia] wait out a balancing act that is going to be somewhat tough.”
Schlosser and Garcia were appointed by the City to represent Dallas, as were Michelle Wong Krause, Flora Hernandez, Patrick Kennedy, Randall Bryant, and D’Andrala Alexander. Enrique MacGregor represents both Dallas and Cockrell Hill.
“There’s going to be a fiduciary responsibility that they’re going to have for the board that we’re appointing them on, but there’s definitely a responsibility that they have to the City of Dallas,” Bazaldua said, repeating a sentiment Council Member Cara Mendelsohn (District 12) expressed during a Transportation & Infrastructure Committee meeting in April.
