Announcements concerning items of community interest. No action will be taken or

Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – I’ll be quick, Mayor. I just wanted to let everybody know  
that we had an employee that passed away, or retired employee. Denny Holt, who was the  
director of emergency management for years back in the 80s and 90s. His funeral is this  
coming Saturday at Crowder Funeral Home. He was a very well-respected gentleman  
throughout the state on emergency management. Him and his wife, his wife also worked  
here, at the police department. We’re really going to miss Denny, he was an icon at  
Shipley’s donuts after retirement. Also, I’d like to give out a shout out to Jody, if he’s still  
here. Jody, I called him and just like a lot of employees, Jody just kind of jumps to the  
situation and takes care of something anytime you ask him. He helped me with a sign at  
518 that a few people were very upset over. It was a crash that happened two years ago.  
Young girl was deceased, and they had a sign up there honoring her name and I guess  
during the construction they took it down. I thank Jody for putting that back up there and  
his public works crew. He is absolutely a fantastic employee.

Andy Mann – I just got one quick kudo. Last week in the Galveston Daily News another  
city in Galveston County was trumpeting the fact that they had finished their battery  
system ordinance and it was amazing to me that it only took them an additional year. I  
don’t think people really appreciate just how good our staff is. Kudos to two people who  
made it happen in much less than a year. Thank you.  
Tom Crews – No Comments  
Courtney Chadwell – I just want to wish all the League City students a great 25-26 school  
year, starting tomorrow. Looking forward to attending the varsity football season from the  
Creek Wildcats. No offense to Falls or Springs or anybody else. My kids go to Creek.  
With that, just be mindful. Traffic patterns are going to change. School zones are going to  
be flashing. I think we started them yesterday. Friday, it was a Friday. Just watch out for  
those buses. We’ve got to take care of those kids.
