Commissioner Rockenbaugh asked about "in-house training" for Commissioners.
Ms. Sen responded that even though its stated as "in-house" training these are a combination of
some in-house and other locally or regionally available training opportunities for Commissioner.
She stated as example the Focus North Texas session was suggested as a training event and some
Commissioners were able to attend. This year American Planning Association (APA) Texas
Chapter Conference is happening in Frisco. That location being close to the City staff would like
to recommend Commissioners to attend their regular one -day training session for
Board/Commissioners. The City will pay for the registration. Also sometimes the City
Secretary's Office will plan Open Meetings Act trainings for new Commissioners or as a
refresher for existing Commissioners. So the training events are a combination of in-house and
locally available training sessions.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, Chairman Hames adjourned the
Regular Session of the Planning and Zoning Commission at 6: 39 p.m.
