Bellaire commission adopts rules of procedure; staff to provide onboarding training

The Building and Standards Commission voted to adopt its rules of procedure for the City of Bellaire after staff presented a cleaned-up draft that aligns with recent council changes to membership and meeting requirements. The motion to adopt was made by the chair and carried by unanimous voice vote.

Development Services Director Travis Tanner led a subsequent onboarding presentation covering the city's organizational chart, the commission's authority under state law and city code, hearing and variance processes (limited to floodplain variances), roles and responsibilities for the chair and members, meeting notice requirements under the Texas Open Meetings Act, and the commission's annual report process to City Council. "I'm Travis tanner. I'm director of development services," Tanner said at the start of his presentation.
