Council removes Planning & Zoning commissioner after executive session

After reconvening from executive session on March 18, the Kennedale City Council voted unanimously to remove Kevin Woah from the city’s Planning & Zoning Commission.

Council announced the action after the closed‑door session; the council’s motion to remove Woah passed with all members voting in favor. The meeting minutes state the removal followed recommendations made during the executive session, which had been held under Texas Government Code sections cited by the council for economic development negotiations and personnel deliberations.

The council did not discuss details from the executive session during open session beyond announcing the motion and the vote. The removal is effective immediately under the motion passed at reconvening.

The action was taken by recorded motion and second; the clerk recorded the vote as unanimous. No additional information on the reasons for the removal was provided in the open session.

Councilmember comments at reconvening were limited and the council adjourned shortly after taking the vote.
