Boards & Commissions
The City of Moore has numerous boards and commissions which provide authority, oversight, and review to many of the City’s functions. These boards generally consist of three to nine members, which are residents of the City, elected officials, and/or city employees. Official meeting times, locations, and agendas for all board meetings are posted on the bulletin board at City Hall. Except in cases of emergency meetings, these notices are posted at least 2 days prior to the meeting. All board meetings are open to the public. State law provides that certain sensitive items, such as personnel matters and pending litigation, may be discussed in private “executive sessions”. Any executive sessions are noted on the meeting agenda. No action other than discussion may be taken during an executive session.
Board of Adjustment Meeting
The Board of Adjustment concerns itself with questions arising from the City’s zoning regulations. The business of the Board includes hearing appeals from citizens who have been the subject of enforcement of zoning regulations; deciding map interpretations, and authorizing exceptions and variances to the zoning regulations.
The Board of Adjustment consists of five residents of the city, appointed to three-year positions that expire in August. At least two members of the Board are appointed from the membership of the Planning Commission. Meetings of the Board are held at 5:30 pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month if there is business to conduct. Meetings are held in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. Official meeting notices and agendas are posted on the bulletin board at City Hall.
