A Muenster alderman is basically a city council member for the City of Muenster, not for Gainesville or all of Cooke County. The aldermen meet as Muenster’s governing board. They vote on local rules, budgets, taxes, fees, contracts, development requests, and city services inside Muenster.

The Parks & Library Commissioner is the alderman assigned to pay extra attention to Muenster’s parks, recreation facilities, pool, and public library. That person acts as a liaison, listening to staff, boards, and residents and bringing needs or problems to the full board. They do not run the library day to day or single-handedly approve every park project. Major spending and policy decisions still go through the full Board of Aldermen.
