Kelly Fest-Pappas:

The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the council for previous support and would like to direct your attention to the file folder that Myra Busby disseminated earlier in the week. We have many, many activities planned including a membership drive, another ‘Trail of Homes’ event and possibly a City –wide garage sale.

On a personal note, I’d like to thank Council for the stop sign that was placed near my home on West Custer recently. We believe that this traffic control device may have saved the life of a toddler who wandered into the street shortly after the sign was installed; we are glad that this sign is there.

Don Matus; former member- Baylor County Commissioners Court

I just wanted to come in and tell you how much I appreciated , during my tenure on the Commissioners Court, the helpful cooperation that we always received from the City Council. I want to especially recognize the Police Department for their excellent work. The building of the Holding Cell facility saved all the taxpayers money. I can’t speak for the other commissioners, however, I appreciated everything.
