Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks – No Comments

Courtney Chadwell – No Comments

Chad Tressler – No Comments

Sean Saunders – Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I do have something I want to bring up tonight. I

spoke with Chief Woitena on this situation already. As most of you know, I am the

president of my HOA, and I had a homeowner who contacted me the other day because I

try to keep appraised on what’s going on in the neighborhood. He had a man that came up

to his house, beating on his door, tried to get into his house, telling him let him in, it’s his

house. Tried to get into his car, saying it’s his car. When he tried to talk to the guy, the guy

tried to attack him almost, and he called the cops. I contacted Chief Woitena to find out

who the officers who were involved in this, and I want to commend the actions of our

officers Edwin Turcios, Chief, I’m sorry about that, I’m horrible with last names

sometimes, Roy Banner, Garrison Mitchell and Lauren Hudgins. They came out, took a

report from him, and instead of making a block and saying hey, I can’t find anything, they

actually found the guy. They took him into custody, the homeowner gave them a full report,

and I don’t know what the disposition of him is after that point was. This is the kind of

actions that our police department does for our citizens. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen

them go above and beyond to help citizens out, and I wanted to make sure that I brought

this up tonight and put it on the record that I commend their actions and taking care of our

homeowners and our residents like they do. Thank you, Chief.

Andy Mann – I just wanted to speak to the library scanning situation. I’ve received a

number of calls and emails from citizens. While I support the mayor’s and this council’s

initiative to match costs with citizens versus non-citizens, I think honestly that the scanning

might be a bridge too far. For those of you who don’t spend a lot of time in municipal stuff,

usually stuff will kind of die down after a while. This kind of feels like we’ve already got

the first and second punches on this and it’s going to die down. I just personally can’t

imagine us going this far with this situation, even though I voted for it. Hopefully, we will

find some way to enforce the ordinance that we passed in a less heavy-handed manner.

That’s all I’ve got to say about that. Thank you.

Tommy Cones – Thank you, mayor. Again, the Houston-Galveston Area Council board

meeting and transportation meeting was this month again. Just kind of keeping everybody

abreast here on Council. City of Houston is still trying to manipulate the numbers a little

bit. The transportation committee met last Friday, and last Tuesday the board met. We’re

still working through the bylaw changes, but it still appears that we have the votes to

squash the City of Houston, Harris County, trying to take over the voting of a lot of things

in H-GAC. Just kind of keep y’all abreast of everything. There are a couple of grants I’m

going to give John to look at. I think we may have some opportunities for that.

Tom Crews – Just two things. One, if people weren’t aware, this Saturday from 10-2, we

have the not-for-profit I think it’s called an expo. What that’s going to do, it allows any

citizen or anybody who is interested in volunteering to come and see all the not-for-profits

that we have in the area so that they can see where they think they would fit in and where

their time would be most valuable. My second thing is, it too is going to be on the library. If

you haven’t gone, the librarians that they’re talking about at the front tables are really

taking kind of a berating. It’s not anything that they’re doing, she just has to be there

checking the cards and she is listening to the citizens. What I would like to see, and I’ve

challenged any fellow city council members, to let’s go and sit at the table beside them, so

that the librarian is not the one berated but the actual people who caused it are the ones

taking the heat. Thank you.

Mayor Long – Since you stayed and asked a question about the library, I will answer it.

Sorry I couldn’t answer it at the time. We’re going to have to build a west side library. We

talked about the west side master plan tonight. As the west side develops out we’re going

to have to figure out where to put that library and how to best set it up. Is it a community

center/library? Do we put it with a park? What do we do to maximize the utility of it and

where’s the best location for it. Then in terms of paying for it, it’s expensive, the projection

is from $70-to-$100 million. For something like that, it has to go to a bond and it has to go

to a vote of the citizens and put it out there. Then it will be determining when is the right

time for that. Personally, I believe we have to finish our current bond before we could even

remotely ask the citizens for another bond. I think that’s kind of how it lines up. I think the

first step is finish the projects that the citizens have already voted on and then figure out

what and where that library or community center or what have you should be located,

create a whole kind of bond committee that goes with that, because probably if you’re

going out for a bond you’re going to want to put other infrastructure projects on there as

well and then find a time to do that. It will be, just all the things I just said, if you did it

really fast, it would be 3-5 years. It’s certainly a ways off, but it has to be planned and an

expense that large needs to be taken seriously and really thought about.
