P&Z chair nominated to serve on Wylie bond committee; commission approves nomination

The Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission on April 21 voted to nominate its chair, identified in the meeting transcript as Jasper, to serve on the city's upcoming bond committee.

A staff member summarized that city council had provided a pre-selected list of projects and asked the commission to nominate its chair as a potential representative. The staff member said the bond committee is expected to meet about four to six times over the next few months to help narrow about $200,000,000 worth of projects to a shorter list (staff said the council's preliminary list would be narrowed to roughly 90 projects for further consideration). "It's not a blank slate," the staff member said, explaining the committee's role is to prioritize and narrow an existing set of projects.

Chair Jasper volunteered to serve and the commission voted to forward his nomination to the city manager/city council; the motion was announced as passing. The staff member also said staff would pass additional interested names to the city manager if other commissioners wished to be considered.

The commission discussed logistics briefly; staff told commissioners the bond committee timelines are intended to dovetail with a possible November election cycle. The commission adjourned after a brief round of announcements.
