Andy Mann – I just want to say one quick thing about that vote. Guys, to the developer,

don’t give up on this. Just bring it back to the City, try to come up with something that gins

up the value. I wouldn’t want this to be a no, no, it’s more of a kind of no.

Tommy Cones – No Comments

Courtney Chadwell – This Friday night at Mallory Stadium your Clear Creek Wildcats

Baseball Team will be hosting Little League Night and Hero Night. Little Leaguers who

come out in their uniform will get right on the field with the Wildcats and first responders

that show up in uniform will be recognized before the first pitch. They’ll also have some

hamburgers and hotdogs out there for the first responders and Little Leaguers. It’ll be a

great time.

The game is at 6 this Friday night over at Mallory. If you’re going to participate in that,

get there about 5:30. I’d also like to recognize my daughter, Grace. Last week, she was

selected as a CCISD Superintendent Scholar, which is a great deal. The same week, she

made varsity cheer as a sophomore, so that’s awesome. We expect great things of her. I

even asked her, right after I won this election, are you going to run for City Council one

day. She was like, well, daddy, you always told me to aim high, so no.
