  55. 45 Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – No Comments Courtney Chadwell – No Comments Scott Higginbotham – No Comments Chad Tressler – No Comments Sean Saunders – No Comments Andy Mann – No Comments Tom Crews – Just real quick, I just wanted to offer congratulations to my daughter who got married this afternoon. Mayor Long –We have been working on a comprehensive drainage plan for Clear Creek and the Dickinson Bayou for quite some time. We have 15-plus entities working in the watershed all the way from Fort Bend all the way down to the Galveston Bay, Harris County, Brazoria County, a bunch of different cities, all working together. The one big hurdle that we had to move forward on this was permission from the Army Corps of Engineers.
  56. 46 Any invocation that may be offered during the ceremonial portion of the City Council meeting shall be the voluntary offering of a private citizen, to and for the benefit of the Council. The views or beliefs expressed by the invocation speaker have not been previously reviewed or approved by the Council and do not necessarily represent the religious beliefs or views of the Council in part or as a whole. No member of the community is required to attend or participate in the invocation and such decision will have no impact on their right to actively participate in the business of the Council.
  57. 46 It had been just a bottleneck getting through that. We went and visited with the Army Corps of Engineers a couple of weeks ago and they finally gave us approval yesterday to move forward. So, we will be able to move forward with that comprehensive study of Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou and we’re working that with money from every one of those entities. And then, really, what we do with that study from there is, next time the federal government is looking for money, you have to the studies ready to go in a certain way or they won’t even listen to you. We’ll be ready to go and approach the federal government to try to get some of that money to make larger projects on both bayous. So, thank you to the staff and to the county’s staff for really digging in on that and pushing that forward.
  58. 50 At 6:42 p.m. Mayor Long said, there being no further business this meeting is adjourned.
