District A Town Hall Meeting 
 

There will be a District A Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, January 27, 2015.  I hope that you will attend so that I can hear from you about your ideas/suggestions or any concerns you have in District A.  Please note that this meeting is different from the CIP meeting we will have in February or March.  While I want to hear about any projects you need in your community, the best place to address many of these concerns will be at the CIP meeting.

Ad Hoc Charter Review Committee

An Ad Hoc Charter Review Committee was recently formed by City Council to review potential revisions to the City Charter. These revisions could include amending the city's term limits, utilizing Executive Session, amending obsolete administrative items, and amendments to the revenue cap on the city's property taxes.  These revisions and other potential amendments will be discussed at upcoming meetings.  Any amendment voted on by City Council would likely go on the November 2015 ballot for voter approval, so I hope that you will either attend the upcoming meetings or watch them on television/online so that you are informed.

Upcoming Meetings:
Wednesday, January 14, 6:30 PM
Thursday, January 29, 9:00 AM
Tuesday, February 10, 6:30 PM
Thursday, February 26, 9:00 AM

All meetings will take place in the City Council Chamber located on the second floor at 901 Bagby Street, Houston, Texas 77002.  You can watch online at http://www.houstontx.gov/htv/
