Aldine Improvement Board met last Tuesday evening, and a large portion of the business was reconstituting the board, due to resignations and departures.
Five appointments were made to the board, including new members Bob Beasley, John Beaudion Jr., James Murnane, and reappointments of Reyes Garcia and Clyde Bailey.
Well known community activists Sylvia Bolling, Leland Jauer, and Steve Mead were replaced. The first two have resigned for personal reasons, and Mead was forced to leave the board after a legal ruling by AID attorneys, conferring with state authorities, determined that Meads swearing in to an unexpired term on the Aldine school board automatically required him to leave the AID board to avoid a conflict of interest. The exact wording in the ruling was that the offices are not compatible.
The new members include Bob Beasley of Beasley Tire Company, John Beaudion Jr. from Commissioner El Franco Lees Precinct One office, and James Murnane, president/CEO of North Houston Bank. However, none of these appointments are official, and they are all subject to ratification of the Harris County Commissioners Court, and could possibly be revised, AID officials noted. The board has a total of 9 members, so this means 5 are new appointments or reappointments.
