Resident raises concern about missing agenda item; commission says it will investigate
Summary
A Texas City resident told commissioners that agenda item 7E was not on the printed agenda he obtained but later appeared online, suggesting a potential 72‑hour Open Meetings Act posting issue; the commission said it would investigate the matter.
Robert Clim of Texas City used his allotted public comment time to raise a concern about the prior meeting’s agenda posting. Clim said that when he printed the original agenda, item 7E was blank, and that later that night the full text for item 7E appeared on the city website. He said the discrepancy 'could be construed as a 72‑hour rule with open meetings act.'
Mayor Dedric Johnson and other commissioners thanked Clim for raising the issue and said staff would review what happened and 'take a look' at whether there was any posting error. No formal action or vote was taken during the meeting on the matter; commissioners pledged to investigate and follow up.
The comment was made during the public‑comment period; the commission’s response was limited to an assurance that staff would look into the posting discrepancy.
