Yesterday’s City Council Meeting

Posted by Sigrun on 7/31/2024, 1:55 pm

Wow, our city had not seen such a large attendance at a City Council meeting since after Ike and the Tres Amigos era.
The agenda had no mention of our recent storm, and under Mayor’s Comments: none.
Many folks addressed their concerns and frustrations to the city representatives, some a bit loudly.
What none of us could understand is why the Mayor did not take the opportunity to address the citizens she is supposed to represent. She had pushed the mute button, and left it on for the entire meeting. Most of us would have been happy to hear something from the Mayor.
Big disappointment for the mayority of Bayou Vista citizens.
We deserve better.
What will happen when the next storm comes along?
Will there be communication from the City to the citizens?

It is my understanding that Aldermen cannot remove Mayor. They can vote to file a petition in District court. Municipal officers are not the same as governing members.

What was the mayor going to say that was going to quiet the mob? I didnt go to the meeting because I saw zero major flaws in the city response to Beryl. I saw some ego issues but no major governance issues. Some of yall wanted a herculean response to a small storm. My suggestion.... put some more energy into preparation and less into complaining. I said what I said ( I dont even know the mayors name but I tip my hat to her for keeping her cool)
