  65. 52 Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks – No Comments Sean Saunders – One thing, Mr. Mayor, I’d like to bring up for the citizens, I believe, Friday, if you have a live Christmas tree, instead of putting them in the trash don’t put them in the trash, please. Go to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center in Pearland. It’s only about a 20-minute drive and they will take all of your Christmas trees. I’m actually for my HOA I’m actually collecting them. I’m going to load them up on my trailer and take them out there tomorrow or Thursday. Don’t put them in the trash. There’s no reason for them to be there. If you have a live Christmas tree, take a minute, take it over there, and they will recycle it. They’re going to put it on the beaches in Brazoria County. That’s all I have to say. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Andy Mann – No Comments Tommy Cones – No Comments Tom Crews – Thank you, Mayor. Just one quick announcement. There’s a spaghetti dinner, Tuesday, January 23, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Hometown Heroes Park. It costs $10. It’s put on by the Lions Club, and all proceeds go to the Hunger Project. I hope to see you there, thank you. Chad Tressler – No Comments Mayor Long – Obviously, there’s a special election right now.
