MAYOR’S REPORT

Mayor Turner stated that there is a few comments from him, he was at the White House on yesterday celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act. His phones started buzzing about 2:45 p.m. concerning the shootings at Heights High School. Chief Pena called him several times. He also tried reaching out to Chief Finner, who was already in route to the school when those calls came in. In the end, the fact that it was a prank call was a plus and that no one got hurt. Even though it was a prank call, the trauma for the students, the parents, the teachers and even for law enforcement doesn’t just go away. It stays in the minds of all those involved. It’s his hope that law enforcement will do everything they can to locate the person or persons who made those prank calls. It’s important for us to find this person or persons to hold them accountable in a major way.

We need to do everything that we can to minimize a dangerous situation even before we get to that point as much as we can. He does want to thank first responders and law enforcement on how they responded so promptly and responsibly. If anybody knows of the person or persons who made those calls, encourage them to turn that person or persons in. He also wanted to give credit to HISD and their teachers and their law enforcement who were also very responsive. He wanted to acknowledge Superintendent House and all of his people for how they responded, as well.

Council Member Kamin stated she wanted to give her gratitude, as well.

The Secretary of Transportation was in town on Monday announcing the $40M that was given to the airport. They are looking forward to the additional dollars to flow into the city from the Inflation Reduction Act. Next week, the Mayor will be hosting two (2) conferences. On Monday, it’s the National Nonpartisan Conversation on Voter Rights. It’s being hosted by himself, Mayor Hancock, mayor of Denver, CO, Mayor Holt, mayor of Oklahoma City, OK, Mayor Romero, mayor of Tuscon, AZ, Mayor Giles, mayor of Mesa, AZ and Mayor Warren, mayor of Fontana, CA. There are a number of people sponsoring this event. There will be a reception on Monday evening. Members of Council are more than welcomed to come. All of the panel discussions will be held on Tuesday and members of Council are welcomed to come and invite others to come, as well. The event will close out on Wednesday at noon. On Thursday, the Mayor will be hosting the first inaugural Africa Energy Summit. This will be with African Heads of States, and Ministers of Energy from a number of countries, and they will be connecting with CEO’s and high level executives of our energy sector. It’s a first of its kind.

Tomorrow is the Mayor’s Office for Adult Literacy Breakfast at the Houston Public Library. Houston Astros Manager, Dusty Baker, is the honorary Chair and the event will recognize individuals and corporations that have partnered with the City of Houston to improve literacy. We are the only city with the Mayor’s Office of Adult Literacy that is set up this way.

Bun B Trill Burgers will be here this weekend at City Hall. They are partnering with local entertainment and businesses for the burger popup where you can buy and try the Trill burger. There will be other food stands and entertainment available. The event will be held on Sunday, September 18th from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. They were popular at Rodeo Houston and his burgers won 1st place for best burger in America on Good Morning America.
