Mayor Pro Tem Tommy Cones – Thank you, Mayor. I just want to tell everybody that I

hope we can say some prayers for the folks in the Hill Country. Such a loss there, I don’t

know how you recover from that being a parent. Also wanted to say that we had a local

League City Fire Department member and also his family was affected by it. So, Mr.

Perry, keep them in your prayers and keep all of them in your prayers in this time to try to

remember and build back stronger and keep our faith.

Tom Crews - No Comments

Courtney Chadwell - No Comments

Scott Higginbotham – I just wanted to commend, real quick, staff and all of the volunteers

for the fireworks on the third and the Citizen Appreciation Day. Those were great events.

It was a huge crowd at Citizen Appreciation Day. So, great job to everybody involved and I

hope we can just keep that going for a long time.

Chad Tressler - No Comments

Sean Saunders - No Comments

Andy Mann - No Comments

Mayor Long – Same thing, thank you for the staff putting in all that work. That’s pretty

tough to go from an event at night to turn around to do it all bright an early in the morning.

Both events were extremely well attended, especially on the fourth of July. I got there and

it started at 10 and I got there about 9:15 and it was already almost a full house by then.

By the time it got really going at 10 it was absolutely packed. So, great job and thanks,

everybody, for doing that.
