Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – No Comments

Sean Saunders – I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I want to congratulate UT on their

softball championship. The reason being is one of the students that played on that team

is actually a graduate of Dickinson ISD, which y’all know how I push for the city to

support DISD since we have a lot of citizens that go there. So, again I want to

congratulate them, I can’t believe I’m saying that about UT. They did a good game. I

watched all three games and they played really, really good. Thank you.
