The Board may enter into contracts without the approval of its owner cities' city councils, but their approval is required for its annual budget, bond sales and other similar measures. In order to facilitate communication between and among the Airport and its neighbors, a 12th, non-voting board position representing one of the Airport's four neighboring cities - Irving, Grapevine, Euless and Coppell - is filled on an annual, rotating basis.
Seven represent the City of Dallas and four represent the City of Fort Worth, in accordance with each city's ownership interest in the Airport.
