Thank you Mayor Denman!

The City of Nassau Bay would like to extend our greatest appreciation to Mark Denman for his outstanding leadership as Mayor of the City of Nassau Bay for the last eight years.

A 35+ year resident of the City, Mayor Denman's long-time service has positively influenced the City in several ways. In addition to his service as Mayor, Mr. Denman served on City Council as a Councilmember and served on the Economic Development Committee. He was also a member of the TIRZ/RDA, Dredging Sub-Committee, Planning Commission, Fire Department Subcommittee, and Hotel Tax Appropriations Subcommittee. Mr. Denman also represents the City as a Board Member of the Bay Area Houston Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Mayor Denman counts one of his greatest accomplishments as the initiation of the annual peninsula cleanup day that he started in 1996. Beginning in 2004, the event was coordinated with Clear Creek Environmental Foundation (CCEF) to annually sponsor a cleanup day for most of the Clear Creek area, including the City's peninsula.

While on City Council, Mayor Denman was successful in getting Council to agree to open up the peninsula to visitors, starting with a few days a week, and eventually moving to seven days a week. He was also successful in starting the City’s first curbside recycling program in 2011. It has become one of the most popular programs in Nassau Bay, in regards to citizen participation. Other major accomplishments include leading the City through several crises (Hurricane Harvey, the loss of Sergeant Sullivan, and COVID-19, to name a few); the City's new fire station (opened June 2018); new streets for Harbour, Basilan and San Sebastian; as well as a new David Braun Park parking lot and expanded jogging sidewalk around the park.

Mayor Denman, we know you've done countless more for the City, and we greatly thank you for your service as Mayor to the City of Nassau Bay!
