President, Felicia Zbranek called the meeting to order at 7:35 PM. There were

23 in attendance, plus 5 guests.

 

Represenatives from the  Storm Sewer Project and the City of Houston spoke on the progress of this Project.  Questions were taken from the floor and answered by Larry Janek, Aldo Ranzani, and Ravi Yanamandala.  Most of the questions were complaints about the noise, dust, and seemingly excessive use of excavators, which was causing damage to homes.  The gentlemen took notes, and promised to address each of the complaints.

The project was started in August of 2007, and will end in August of 2008.

A water main project will begin at the end of November 2007.

 

Harold Landreneau, prospective candidate for JP of Harris County spoke briefly, and asked all to sign his petition to be a candidate.

 

Rhonda Sauter from Councilman Garcia’s office asked Chuck Britton to represent the neighborhood in an effort to stop misinformation that appears on the neighborhood BB’s.
