COLLEGE STATION OPEN! boards and commissions and the second part describes how two Texas cities — Temple and College Station — run their local govern ment bodies. The first part is divided into sev eral sections which outline the pro cedures for conducting a meeting — such as the rules, routine and roles of members. The section also has a basic chart of parliamentary proce dure motions. The next few sections outline how to work with city staff, liability for actions, the open meetings laws and administering and taking the oath of office. The second part of the book de scribes the structures of various boards — from city council to plumbing boards — which cities might have. The number of mem bers, qualifications, powers, duties and statutes creating each board are outlined. Halter said he used College Sta tion and Temple because between the two cities, nearly all the difier- ent types of boards are covered. For example, Temple has two separate boards of planning and zoning and College Station has only one. Halter said his is the first publica tion to outline the various types of governmental boards. Halter works with the Texas Municipal League, an association of municipalities which provides in formation and legal services to cities. He said it was through this work he became aware of the need for such a book. Halter and Biles started work in June. Halter said he wrote and Biles researched and edited. The book will be published by Oct. 26. Books, etc., offered at low prices in Evans Library book sale S E I i I I: I I ■ L.
