REPORTS FROM STAFF MEMBERS  
Announcements concerning items of community interest. No action will be taken or  
discussed.  
John Baumgartner – Just one quick announcement relative to all of the conversations  
related to the cat program, the Trap, Neuter and Return, I think many of you know that  
we have started a new community outreach called LeagueCityListens.com. We’d like to  
take this opportunity to help engage the citizens other than meetings to use that tool and  
perhaps reach out to us through that. It’s LeagueCity.com/cats to provide input through  
that tool. Obviously, we’re also going to have a public meeting to get interest and look  
forward to collaborating with the community to develop a program that meets the  
expectations.

COUNCIL MEMBERS COMMENTS/REPORTS  
Announcements concerning items of community interest. No action will be taken or  
discussed.  
Mayor Pro Tem Andy Mann – No Comments  
Justin Hicks – No Comments  
Chad Tressler – No Comments  
Sean Saunders – Thank you, sir. I do want to report on, my thunder’s already been  
stolen by a couple of others on the Community Standards Review Board, they met last  
night. I will say I was very proud of the board. They reviewed the books that was  
necessary to be reviewed, came back, had lively discussion, even through I had to depart  
for a little bit for another meeting I had to deal with, they had very good discussion over  
it. They voted. It worked just like it should. When it came to the two books that were  
already categorized in the right area, there wasn’t even a discussion, they were like this  
is already in the adult section. There was a motion to just dismiss them, they were  
dismissed, and they moved on. There was a topic brought up that we’re going to have to  
look at on the adult books in the adult book section, primarily for books that don’t meet  
historical accuracies, or are propaganda in nature.  
There was some discussion about that, there’s been a book in the past that was donated  
to the library. That is something that we as Council are probably going to have to look  
at and address, also. I plan on trying to meet with the librarian here this week or next  
week to discuss it further with her. Other than that, I’m pretty proud of the committee,  
they did a great job last night. Even the differing viewpoints that all of them have, they  
all came together and worked to resolve these issues. Thank you.  
Tommy Cones – Just like to say thank you to all of the first responders, 9-11 was  
yesterday. Just say thank you to fire, police, EMS, public works, nurses and doctors,  
everybody that had a hand in 9-11. Sad day, it’s the 22nd year. Just go out and say hello  
to them and shake their hand for protecting our community. Thank you.  
Tom Crews – Thank you, Andy. I’ll be brief. First, I want to welcome the chief. I know  
you’re going to do a great job. I’m happy to have you officially on board. I don’t know  
if it was much of a secret I was pretty frustrated with the budget process. I know that  
people kept saying it went smoother. I there’s some changes that could be made and I  
would like to sit with John and Angie over lunch to kind of go over those pieces. For the  
item about the library that has come up, and I agree with Councilman Saunders that the  
meeting went very, very well. This will be kind of a John question, I don’t know if we  
need action to actually go through and legislate this anymore. I would like to see if we  
could just do a standard operating procedure on something like this, to where you could  
just give direction to the librarian for removal of outdated books or whatever. I don’t  
know if we need the Council on those things. Outside of that, thank you guys.  
John Bowen – No Comments  
Mayor Pro Tem Mann – Mayor Long is the last one on the list and I’ll just pretend I’m  
Mayor Long and say thank you for the opportunity to serve in this capacity.
