Meeting Held January 27, 2016

A regular meeting of th Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Tioga, Texas was held on Wednesday,  January 27, 2016 at Tioga City Hall, 600 Main Street, Tioga, Texas.

Call to Order:  The public meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.

Approval of Minutes:  December minutes were read and approved.  Motion made by Janet Sloane and seconded by Patrick Coyle.  All ayes.

Community Survey:

The committee and guest went over the results of the community wide survey conducted by the Planning and Zoning Committee just after the first of the year.

Results will be post on the city web page.

We were confirmed in our thoughts that the community is interested in positive growth coming to the city of Tioga and would like to keep a small town feel while maintaining our heritage.  We were pleased with the number of citizens that responded and filled out the survey.

Discuss Planning for Future Meetings:

It was agreed that in future Planning and Zoning meetings ordinances should be a priority.  The committee needs to revamp and renew items that are outdated and nonapplicable.  It is of the utmost importance that we help the city get ahead of the coming growth.

We also need to work with other committees to actively pursue businesses.  We need an action plan to let developers and business owners know what the city of Tioga has to offer them.  We need to have some sort of a small business plan.

We also all agreed (each committee) that we need to host more than two city wide events a year.

Adjourn: Meeting was adjourned at 9:46 p.m.  Motion made by Kristi Staples, seconded by Dale Cavin. All ayes.
