ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA Deputy City Attorney Leininger gave the legal reasoning behind removing Items C and D. According to Texas Local Government Code section 212.09D,"if a municipal authority responsible for approving plats fails to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove a plat within the prescribed period,the authority on the applicant's request shall issue a certificate stating the date the plat was filed and that the authority failed to act on the plat within the period. The certificate is effective in place of the endorsement required by subsection C." She explained that for Item C and Item D,the Planning and Zoning Commission is the municipal authority responsible for approval. Two of the five P&Z Commissioners who were present at the meeting filed conflict of interest affidavits and had to recuse themselves in accordance with the city's ethics ordinance. She explained they could not be present in council chambers while these items were considered. Therefore,there would be no quorum and no action could be taken on the items. She further stated that the authority on the applicant's request shall issue a certificate stating the date the plat was filed and that the authority failed to act on the plat within the statutory period. Pursuant to state law,this certificate is effective in place of the endorsement required by section 212.09.
