MAYOR’S REPORT

Mayor Whitmire wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming Juneteenth Holiday on Thursday, June 19. The City of Houston will be closed. He will be in Acres Homes on Saturday morning where he’s participated in that parade for many years, also honoring the late Sylvester Turner, who started the parade. Before he went any further, he thanked Chief Diaz, Chief Munoz and everyone who participated in Saturday’s peaceful march and protest. He believes it was a statement of a city that we live in where we can have different views and do it peacefully.
