At its regular meeting, the Dickinson Economic Development Corporation approved the consent agenda of routine items, set its regular meeting schedule, and elected board officers.

The board approved three consent items presented together: minutes from the Sept. 15, 2025 meeting, the September 2025 monthly administration service fee transfer request, and the September 2025 payroll transfer request. A motion and second were made and the chair called for a vote; the motion passed when members voted “aye.” (The transcript records the motion passing but does not provide an itemized rollcall of votes.)

The board then considered and approved a motion to set the DEDC regular meeting day and time to the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.

On board leadership, a motion was made to nominate Patrick Spies as president and Derek Couric as vice president and was seconded by Matt Savatier. The board approved the nominations by voice vote. The board chair congratulated the newly nominated officers; the appointments will be forwarded to city council for final approval as required by the board’s process.

The board convened a closed executive session under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code and returned to open session with no action items reported.

Board member comments closed the meeting. The board thanked outgoing members Mr. Coker and Mr. Wilson for their service and noted that the EDC had received three applications for open board seats; staff said applications will be reviewed and candidate names and resumes brought to the next board meeting for council review and appointment.
