Pearland posted agendas for 13 recent items over the past two weeks, covering City Council, the Planning & Zoning Commission and several advisory boards. As of Oct. 26, minutes had not been published for any of them, so the record available shows what was scheduled for discussion or consideration — not what was decided. No vote tallies or final outcomes appear in the documents.
