  59. 51 Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks – No Comments Sean Saunders – Real quick, Mr. Mayor, I want to thank Chief Allen and Chief Keesler. Whatever Dickinson Band left out the other day, we did an escort for them from the High School to the freeway. It involved about four different departments, about 10 or 12 apparatuses. We gave the kids one heck of a send-off. Unfortunately, they didn’t make finals, but they did do an awesome performance out there. I want to thank the chiefs for coming out and helping. Andy Mann – No Comments Tommy Cones – I’d like to congratulate Justin Hicks and also Tom Crews for their getting back on Council. I guess that’s congratulations. I know it’s a very difficult time a lot of times to run for City Council, so congratulations to both of you and to the other candidates who ran also.
  60. 52 _______________________ NICK LONG MAYOR
  61. 52 Tom Crews – No Comments Courtney Chadwell – I’d like to congratulate Chief Allen, Chief Jeff Allen, on his new appointment as Fire Chief here in League City. He’s been with us quite a while and done some great things. Looking forward to him to continue doing that. I’d also like to congratulate Justin and Tom, and myself, right. I’d also really like to thank the challengers for throwing their name in the hat and contributing to the democratic process. It’s not easy to put yourself out there. Scott Higginbotham, Joe Italiano, I appreciate you guys stepping up and fighting hard. Chad Tressler – Since he congratulated himself, I’d like to congratulate Mr. Chadwell on having the largest undervote of all the Council races. Mayor Long – No Comments
