Lakewood Civic

Hello neighbors, I hope you are thawing out from the cold weather and ready for spring and summer time in Baytown. We are excited as we prepare to open our newly expanded Pirate’s Bay Water Park this May. Our newest attractions include a wave pool, a family tube ride, and a tandem type of ride.

Recently city council conducted a retreat to address long range planning regarding future goals and financial outlooks for Baytown. I am pleased to report the future of Baytown is bright and we look to actions needed to manage the unprecedented growth we are already experiencing in our community. It is easy to see the retail, housing and economic growth throughout our city with the industrial expansions currently taking place. This growth will impact our traffic conditions and other city resources over the next few years and we must make decisions today to help lessen the negative impact that accompanies growth of this magnitude.

An area I continue to focus on other than infrastructure is the safety of our citizens. I believe it is very important for the city to ensure a safe community for us to live, work and play. We continue to work closely with our police department to find measures to make Baytown an unpleasant place for criminals and those whose choose to be unlawful.

I recently appointed Mr. Randy Dickey to represent District 3 on our Charter Review Committee to evaluate and recommend changes to our city charter in a possible city-wide election in 2015. Thanks Randy for taking on this important role!

It is my honor to serve you on Baytown City Council and hope that you contact me with any concerns or ideas you may have. I can be contacted anytime at email District3@baytown.org. I hope you have a great 2014 and may God Bless you and your family.
