CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR! This past year was one that shall not be forgotten and has forced so many changes in our daily lives. While the adversity of COVID-19 may have altered patterns and many other aspects of our lives, the City did not lose its spirit and cohesiveness. Our City Council, City Staff, and our wonderful volunteers stayed busy to keep the City shining, thriving, and ready for exploration. A complete list, along with photos and links to projects can be found on the City Manager’s page at www.nassaubay.com/CityManager. Please check it out for more details. Here are a few things that we accomplished this year: Community & Special Events As you may know, 2020 was the 50th Anniversary for the incorporation of the City of Nassau Bay. We were not able to do everything we had planned throughout the year, but our volunteers worked diligently to ensure that we were engaged and celebrating our 50th Anniversary with bingo, flags, stickers, photos, and much more. Thank you for your time and service to the community. Thank you to the Special Events Committee for your continued service to the City of Nassau Bay and engaging our citizens with family friendly entertainment. This year may have been different than the others, but this wonderful group of volunteers still excelled. Thank you for being innovative and finding ways for us to celebrate Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. We also appreciate the COVID Stay at Home Challenge! The City was able to host a few events, but a majority of our normal festivities were cancelled. We successfully participated in the Peninsula Clean Up which resulted in 720 cubic yards of trash being picked up in and around the peninsula. The City and Garden Club also held the annual Arbor Day celebration to observe the history of the large Magnolia on NASA 1. Finally, the year ended with a wonderful firework show and boat parade. Thank you to all those involved to bring these to life. Comprehensive Plan: Citizens, City Council, Planning Commission, and City Staff worked throughout the year to update the City’s comprehensive plan. This plan is the guiding light for the City over the next 10 years. Thank you to all of the citizens, volunteers, and City officials who contributed countless hours to plan for Nassau Bay’s future. Election: Originally planned for May, COVID concerns postponed all election plans until the fall. In conjunction with Harris County, City Staff held two successful elections (November and December Runoff) to provide Nassau Bay residents the opportunity to elect their next Mayor, Mr. Bob Warters. NASA 1 Palm Trees: The City conducted a citizen survey and created a task force to address the decay of the medjool date palm trees on the NASA 1 median. The task force will present a plan to the citizens and City Council in early 2021. ...article continues on page 4
