The Bellaire Building and Standards Commission meeting on July 24, 2025, focused on the swearing-in of new board members and the transition of leadership roles. The meeting began with the introduction of incoming members, specifically Mike Scholer, who was present to take the oath of office. Another new member, Sam Soutine, was not in attendance but is expected to be sworn in at the next meeting.
During the meeting, it was noted that two current members, including Mr. Blandford, are cycling out due to term limits and have chosen to serve on different boards. Following the swearing-in ceremony, the vice chair was set to lead the election for the upcoming chair and vice chair positions.
The meeting underscored the ongoing changes within the commission, highlighting the importance of leadership transitions and the commitment of new members to uphold the responsibilities outlined in the city’s charter and ordinances. The next steps will include the formal election of new leadership, which will shape the commission's direction moving forward.
