  47. 42 Mayor Pro Tem Sean Saunders – No Comments Andy Mann – I yield my time except to say go Texans. Tommy Cones – Thank you, Mayor. Just briefly, for the boating community, myself and the Mayor met this past Friday to talk a little bit more about the ordinance. There is some things in there as you remember at the last Council meeting that I had concerns with even though we passed it. He agreed that we would go back and look at it a little bit more and try to look from there. I did meet with another gentleman, Mr. Scott Waterford, and talked about some items.
  48. 43 CERTIFICATE OF NOTICE
  49. 43 Rest assured, I think that we are trying to get to the bottom line. We understand we are not the experts in that area and we certainly don’t want to affect somebody, kick them out of their house or make them move. We do have an issue in a couple of the marinas and we’re trying to address that also. For that reason, we’re trying to get back together with the Mayor and Council and bring another amendment to the table. Thank you. Tom Crews – No Comments Courtney Chadwell – No Comments Scott Higginbotham – No Comments Chad Tressler – I don’t mind being the second one to talk about it. I know I’ve mentioned numerous times on other issues that we’re not Houston, and we won’t be. As we’ll also never be big enough to host an NFL franchise here. Go Texans.
