APPOINTMENTS
Continued from Page 6
"We have the ability to change people's minds
one person at a time," Oakley said. "If you serve
on a board and you come away changing one or
two people's minds who become policy makers,
then you've accomplished a lot."
Oakley said elected officials often begin their
public service by serving on boards and commis-
sions. He served on the Plan and Zoning
Commission with District 10 council member
Bill Blaydes prior to his election to the council.
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez served on
the Civil Service Board before she was elected.
Other members of the council who are not gay
said they are committed to making appointments
and nominations of gay and lesbian residents so
the boards and commissions reflect the diversity
of the city.
Council member Dr. Elba Garcia, whose
District 1 also includes Oak Cliff, identified two
gay and lesbian residents she appointed to the
Cultural Affairs Commission and the Martin
Luther King Jr. Community Center Board.
Oakley and Garcia share the appointment to
the Cultural Affairs Commission so their appoint-
ments reflect the same individual.
Council member Angela Hunt, whose District
14 includes Oak Lawn, identified four appoint-
ments of gay and lesbian residents. She appoint-
ed gay and lesbian residents to the City Plan and
Zoning Commission, Citizens Police Review
Board, Landmark Commission and the Youth
Commission.
Council member Pauline Medrano, whose
District 2 also includes Oak Lawn, identified two
appointments of gay and lesbian residents to
Community Development Commission and the
City Plan and Zoning Commission.
As mayor, Miller has appointed one person
from the GLBT community to Citizens Police
Review Board. As a council member represent-
ing District 3, she nominated two members of the
GLBT community to the Reinvestment Zone 3
Board for the Oak Cliff Gateway, who were
renominated by Oakley and are still serving.
Council member Mitchell Rasansky, whose
District 14 is in North Dallas, nominated a gay
man to the Board of Adjustment.
Council member Leo Chaney Jr., whose
Council member Pauline Medrano identified two of her
appointees as gay or lesbian. Her district includes part of
Oak Lawn.
District 7 is in South Dallas, appointed a lesbian
to the Environmental Health Commission.
Neither Rasansky nor Chaney responded to
the request for information. The identities of their
appointments of gay and lesbian residents were
discovered by examining commission and board
member records on the city's Web site.
The offices of council members Gary Griffith
who represents District 9 in North Dallas, and
Linda Koop, who represents District 11 in North
Dallas, reported that they currently have no gay
and lesbian residents appointed to city boards and
commissions.
Some of the council members said they were
still in the process of making appointments and
nominations.
Roger Wedell, who Oakley has nominated for
the Ethics Advisory Commission, said he is
excited about the opportunity to serve the public
and the GLBT community.
"It doesn't directly affect our community, but
the ethics commission is kind of a watch dog for
city government to make sure government is
transparent, and we really present to the citizens,
the state and beyond that Dallas government is
run on the up and up," Wedell said. "That speaks
for the whole community of which we are a
part."
