3.ACTION ITEMS
According to the Planning and Zoning Rules of Procedure (R2021-18), all action of the Commission shall
be made by an affirmative vote of four (4) or more members of the Commission present at such
Commission meetings.
A.Consider establishing and prioritizing goals for the Planning and Zoning Commission.
**Commissioner Tom Hinckley moved to approve establishing and prioritizing goals for the Planning
and Zoning Commission. Seconded by Commissioner Catherine Koerner. Hinckley amended his
motion to discuss. Koerner seconded the amendment.
Chairman Matranga reviewed the commission's 2022 actions and accomplishments. Harbin and
Bennett provided possible tasks for 2023 to be discussed by the subcommittees. The commission
discussed changing the meeting start time from 7:00pm to 6:00pm to help accommodate citizen
and applicant attendance. City Attorney Horner explained changing the time of the meetings would
require changing the commission's rules of procedure. She suggested reviewing the rules for other
necessary changes.
The commission discussed Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District meeting attendance.
Due to the time of the meeting, technical difficulties attending remotely, and lack of action required
by the liaison, the commissioners agreed a standing liaison was no longer necessary. They did
suggest GCCDD could request a commission liaison or a GCCDD representative could attend the
Planning and Zoning Commission meetings when necessary.

This meeting was adjourned at 08:37 PM.
