Commission backs procedural-rule changes to allow friendly amendments, align with Council
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend amendments to its rules of procedure to allow friendly amendments and to adopt Robert's Rules as a guide, aligning its procedures with recent City Council clarifications; the commission forwarded the recommendation to Council.
The Friendswood City Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 10 voted to recommend amendments to its rules of procedure to City Council.
Speaker 6, a staff member, told the commission the proposed changes mirror recent City Council clarifications and would allow friendly amendments and designate Robert's Rules of Order as a guide rather than a strict requirement. Staff also said the amendment would permit staff to notify commissioners, before a motion, whether certain plat comments had been satisfied.
"Our our rules now conform to our practice," Speaker 6 said. Commissioners discussed briefly and moved to recommend the amendments to Council; the motion passed. The transcript records the recommendation as passing; numeric vote counts were not specified.
