  A Potter County appointee chaired the board through August 26, 2021. On February 17, 2022 John Attebury, listed as a City of Amarillo member, chaired the meeting, and "Andrew Freeman explained that John Attebury was appointed to the chair position through Amarillo City Council." On March 17, 2022 the board unanimously elected a Potter County appointee vice chair. The chair said "he would like to focus on processes and procedures on awarding incentives for the TIRZ #2 board for a successful and consistent board for the future," and the Assistant City Manager said he could bring both the project plan and the City's incentive guidelines for review. The board then went into executive session under Texas Government Code section 551.087 (economic development negotiations) from 12:05 to 12:25 p.m. and adjourned with no action. ^[3][1][2]
