Texas Local Government Code requires that alderman positions be up for election every 2 years. After the election of the first City Council of Sandy Oaks, Aldermen were randomly assigned Place numbers on August 28, 2014. It was then decided that Alderman Place 1 would be up for election on odd numbered years, which meant that the position would only be filled for 1 year before it’s next election.
Election for Alderman place 1 is held in the November General Election on odd years.
Powers
An alderman may submit an item to be on a Council meeting agenda if there is a 2nd alderman who agrees. The 5 aldermen are the only members of the City Council who can vote in a meeting unless there is a tie.
