Serve on a Board or Commission

Boards and commissions fulfill an important role in city government by evaluating issues that affect our community and making recommendations to the City Council for needed action. Although most boards and commissions are advisory in nature, a few are decision-making entities.

The City of Seabrook is excited to announce the launch of a new interactive tool, "Ask Sunny!", designed to streamline resident inquiries and enhance access to city services.



This innovative platform empowers residents to ask questions, submit service requests, and access essential city information conveniently and efficiently.

"Ask Sunny!" utilizes data from the City of Seabrook website to provide accurate and timely responses to inquiries regarding water service, trash collection schedules, upcoming meetings, events, and more.

You have questions, Sunny has answers!

Post-Storm Debris Removal

The last day to set out storm-related vegetation and construction and demolition (C&D) debris by the curb for collection has passed. Any fresh green debris that has been put on the curb is not considered storm-related and will not be collected by the debris removal contract.

The debris hauling crews are currently working on C&D collection Citywide.

The second pass on vegetation is complete west of SH 146.

The second pass on vegetation will resume after the C&D collection east of SH 146.

Debris haulers are forecasting project completion in three weeks.

Reminder

• Place vegetation for collection within the right-of-way, between the property line and the street.
• Do not include bagged leaves with storm debris.
• Do not place debris near or on trees, poles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, utility boxes, or other structures.
• Do not place vegetation debris mixed with construction debris; the piles of each debris category must be separated.
• Do not park in front of or near debris as the debris will not be picked up.
• Debris placed between the sidewalk and your home will not be picked up.

FEMA requires careful recordkeeping regarding expenditures for communities to obtain reimbursement which will be 75% FEMA and 25% City. Jeopardizing compliance could result in 100% of the expenditure being paid by the City. Debris monitors follow the debris collection vehicles to ensure compliance with FEMA rules.

North Meyer Reconstruction

With the City’s recent issuance of Certificates of Obligation, the city identified based on the subgrade condition, the reconstruction of North Meyer from the boundaries of East Meyer to SH 146. The city has received an initial grant from Harris County Precinct 2 to leverage this debt funding and get a 50% grant match. During the SH 146 expansion project and the recent drought, this road took some serious volumes and will now need to be repaired through reconstruction. As part of this project, new and upgraded sidewalk segments will be included.
