Audit Dallas Charter rules before personnel action finalized
Why now: Five council-appointed positions were evaluated across two sessions (Jan 20, Feb 12) with no public action disclosed since.
What to do: Pull the City Charter provisions governing council-appointed officer evaluations and check them against the January 20 and February 12 committee sessions for missing notice, quorum, or evaluation-criteria requirements; any gap makes personnel action taken after this four-month silence vulnerable to procedural challenge before it's final.
Act before: After personnel action or evaluation results are announced
File records request on Dallas executive evaluations now
Why now: The committee bundled an Inspector General search, five officer evaluations, campaign finance policy, and telework policy into just two sessions (Jan 20, Feb 12), then went silent for four months.
What to do: Submit a Texas Public Information Act request for the written assessments, scoring rubrics, and post-February 12 correspondence tied to the five council-appointed officer evaluations before the city can invoke the deliberative-process exemption once any action is announced.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Contact Dallas committee members on campaign finance draft now
Why now: Two sessions (Jan 20, Feb 12) have discussed the draft with no formal Council referral in four months, keeping the informal drafting window open.
What to do: Reach out directly to Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Affairs members to obtain or influence the working draft on campaign contributions and officeholder accounts before it gets a formal Council referral.
Act before: After item is formally referred to full Council

MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingThe agenda placed Inspector General search criteria (File 26-610A) and Inspector General performance evaluation (File 26-311A) on the same docket — a potential story angle on the status and independence of the IG office. The proposed removal of the board/commission post-absence voting requirement (File 26-621A) and the telework policy continuation (File 26-620A) are additional policy threads to monitor.

MediumMedium significance — notable action worth trackingThe Inspector General search (File 26-610A) is at a criteria-setting stage, and the proposed removal of the board/commission post-absence voting requirement (File 26-621A) represents an open policy window. If either item advances, it could affect oversight structures and board participation dynamics for clients with city contracts or appointed-board exposure.
