Lapel Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.

[7:04] My first one go around is in charge so

[7:09] but
uh so opening a meeting uh for our
[7:12] agenda we have call to order.
[7:16] Is that you?
>> No. That you just called it to order.
[7:19] » Okay.
>> I'm doing the roll call.
[7:21] » Determination of quorum.

[7:38] item number one vote on the rules and
procedures amendments.
[7:43] Here to vote on an amendment to the
rules and procedures to swap the order
[7:47] of the petitioner and staff
presentations.
[7:50] Which was read at last month's meeting.
>> Yes.
[7:54] So,
that brief description is
[7:58] But it says on the 10, that is what this
resolution number one {dash} 2026 is
[8:03] for. It amends
the rule of procedures for the board of
[8:07] zoning appeals
to make that swap in order.
[8:13] And yeah, we read that
last month, and so now we can
[8:17] have a vote on it.
>> Do I need to make a motion? Do I need to
[8:19] make a motion to vote? Right?
>> Yep.
[8:22] » I make a motion for the resolution one
{dash} 2026
[8:28] to approve
the amending the rules and procedures
[8:32] for the town of Coppell board of zoning
appeals.
[8:37] » Thank
>> I'll second.
[8:38] » All right.
[8:41] » Cam?
>> Yes.
[8:42] » Andrea?
>> Yes.
[8:44] » Brandy?
>> Yes.
[8:49] » All right. New business is a first
reading for rules and procedures
[8:54] amendments.
>> Yes.
[8:57] So,
>> Go ahead.
[8:58] » last month
I had intended to present two
[9:01] amendments, but I left an amendment off
the list somehow.
[9:05] So, this other amendment is the one that
comes from the state where they changed
[9:10] the rules for removal of board of zoning
appeals members. Um,
[9:15] so this would amend
the rules of procedures to reflect this
[9:21] change in the state
code. Um,
[9:26] which would make it so that members
serve at the pleasure of the members
[9:29] appointing authority.
Um,
[9:33] provided that the
>> Uh, if the appointing authority is an
[9:37] individual person, that person is still
that the the the person in that office.
[9:42] And if the appointing authority is a
board um or a committee, that all of the
[9:47] individuals who were part of that board
at the time of the appointment remain on
[9:52] the board.
In those two circumstances,
[9:55] that body can decide to remove the
member that they appointed for
[10:00] any reason.
If
[10:03] that's not true, if if you were
appointed by the town council president
[10:06] and to the different president or if you
were appointed by the planning
[10:09] commission um
by both the planning commission or the
[10:12] town council and
even one member on either of those two
[10:16] bodies is different, um then you cannot
be removed uh unless
[10:20] uh
except for except for cause. Um
[10:24] which the cause in the in the in the
rules basically is uh missing three
[10:30] meetings in a row.
[10:37] So,
that's the first reading.
[10:39] Okay.
>> We'll vote on it next
[10:42] » Yeah, we'll vote on it next meeting,
right?
[10:44] » Correct.
[10:47] » Uh I show no other business.
Correct?
[10:52] Need a motion to adjourn.
>> I make a motion to adjourn.
[10:57] » All in favor?
>> I.
[11:02] » Meeting adjourned.
